Introduction Introduction For current information on VA benefits and claims procedures contact a VA regional office.
Counselors can answer questions about benefits eligibility and application procedures.
They make referrals, when necessary, to other VA facilities, such as medical centers and national cemeteries. Local phone numbers of VA regional offices in 50 states, the District of Columbia, Manila and Puerto Rico are listed in the back of this book, along with the phone numbers of all VA facilities. VA facilities also are listed in the federal government section of telephone directories under Department of Veterans Affairs. State governments and some municipalities also have offices devoted to administering state and local veterans programs and assisting veterans in filing claims for VA and other federal benefits. Many veterans service organizations also provide information and assistance.
