Disabled Veteran Info

What are Disabled American Veteran (DAV) Mobile Service Offices (MSOs) and where can I find one?

  After all they have done to defend our freedom, the DAV is proud to bring the services and support they need to those veterans where they live. Their Mobile Service Offices reach veterans with mobility challenges, and those who live in rural regions far away from the services they are guaranteed.  Their information seminars give veterans the help they need to file and receive VA claims, as well as everyday support as they transition back normal life.  For some vets the situation is more urgent, so DAV has outreach to homeless veterans, disaster relief grants, and help for those veterans who face additional hurdles in their return to life at home.

  Housed in a fleet of well equipped “offices on wheels” DAV’s Mobile Service Offices (MSOs) travel to smaller towns and rural communities across the country to counsel and assist veterans to educate veterans and their families on the benefits and services available to them in thanks for their service.  Aided by Department and Chapter Service Officers, the MSO program provides support to veterans developing, filing and winning claims for benefits administered under federal, state and local laws. National Service Officers (NSOs) counsel and assist with the development of evidence, completion of required applications and prosecution of claims, bringing benefit and services education to veterans and their families where they live - all services provided by DAV NSOs are free of charge.  Check the web site below for updates.

  For more info on free DAV services, you can call the Denver VA Regional Office (155 Van Gordon St) at (303) 914-5570. 

Can disabled vets fly Space-Available for free?
