March 12, 2026<\/strong> – The El Paso County Division of Veterans Services will host a Veterans Claims Clinic in Calhan on Friday, March 28, from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. at VFW Post 5221, 568 Colorado Avenue, Calhan, CO 80808.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The clinic is part of the Division\u2019s continued effort to expand outreach beyond Colorado Springs and ensure Veterans in eastern El Paso County have convenient access to accredited assistance. Veterans, dependents, and survivors will have the opportunity to meet directly with Veterans Service Officers to receive guidance on VA disability compensation, pensions, survivor benefits, healthcare enrollment, and other available programs.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cAccess to benefits shouldn\u2019t depend on geography,\u201d said Charles Graves, El Paso County Veterans Services Division Manager. \u201cBy hosting clinics in communities like Calhan, we\u2019re making sure Veterans across our county can connect with the support they\u2019ve earned.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Services are provided at no cost and are offered on a first-come, first-served basis, so wait times may vary depending on attendance. Veterans are encouraged to bring relevant documentation, including their DD-214, medical records, and any correspondence from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The El Paso County Division of Veterans Services advises and assists Veterans who honorably served in any branch of the armed forces, as well as their dependents and survivors, regarding VA benefits and services. Through individual appointments, community clinics, and outreach events, the Division works to reduce barriers and simplify the claims process for those who have served.<\/p>\n
