HELPFUL RESOURCES & HOTLINES

Veterans have earned these benefits. If the veteran is too ill to advocate for themself, then you can contact the Wounded Warrior Project, Volunteers of America, American Legion, VFW, AmVets, American Red Cross, or Disabled American Veterans. Also, there are Social Workers at the VA hospitals that may help you find a VA Benefits Contact. Do not give up and do not be intimidated by the process. Do not let anyone minimize your challenge or your frustration. Do what you need to do to get the veteran the benefits they need.
