Veterans' Benefits and Aid

The veteran who needs help in receiving benefits has many obstacles standing in his or her path. The Veterans of Foreign War works daily through local, state and federal agencies to further the welfare of our nation's veterans. The VFW works on the federal and state level for legislation that benefits the veteran.  

The Department Service Officer of the Veterans of Foreign Wars, Department of Wisconsin, offers multifaceted programs to aid the Wisconsin veteran. Each county has a CVSO (County Veteran Service Officer) to also aid the veteran. Each Veterans of Foreign Wars District within the state has a District Service Officer to assist the Post Service Officer in aiding veterans.

The Department, District and Post Service Officers can be reached through the Wisconsin VFW website, www.vfwofwi.com.

Even with this assistance the veteran may have problems in receiving his or her benefits. Veterans in the state of Wisconsin are lucky in the fact that there are many government representatives who believe that helping and supporting the American Veteran is good business.

This list below of representatives have proven their willingness to aid the veteran of Southeast Wisconsin. If a veteran feels that they are not receiving the benefits they deserve they will listen, investigate and work toward helping the veteran receive their benefits.
