DAV "Mobile Offices" Bring To Veterans Wond«r Lake Mary Jean Huff 728-0267 Free assistance for veterans and their families will be available locally when a Field Serrtce Unit of the Disabled American Veterans (DAVi visits This is the fifth con­ secutive year that one of these 26-foot mobile offices has visited the state, providing free counseling and claims service to veterans and their families. The DAV Field Service unit will be located in Woodstock at the VFW Club parking lot. 240 N. Throop. Oct. 3. from 10 a m to 6 p.m. The traveling veterans' service facility will be manned by DAV National Service of­ ficers who are fully qualified and trained to, assist veterans and their families in filing claims for Federal and State benefits to which they are entitled by law. These include disability compensation, pension, employment and job training rights, educational benefits, hospitalization and medical care. Social Security, death claims and more. During the first four years of the DAV's nationwide tour with its fleet of nine Field Service Units, 183,000 veterans and dependents contacted the mobile offices for assistance. As a result of these visits, DAV National Service Officers filed 10,400 new claims and reopened another 57,000 claims for veterans' disability com­ pensation and pension benefits. Thousands of claims for other government benefits were also filed. A veteran need not be a member of the DAV to take advantage of this free service. The project is an extension of the DAV's 50-year-<>ld National Service Program that provides a variety of assistance at no cosl to veterans and their families I rider this program, the DAV employs 280 full-time National Service Officers - more than ko percent of whom are disabled veterans of the Vietnam War period - at Veterans Administration <VA» facilities across the country. From July 1976 to June 1977, the most recent full year for which statistics are available, these National Service Officers successfully handled 257,000 individual cases representing Federal benefits totaling $642 million for veterans and their families DAV National Adjutant Denvel D Adams pointed out that the Field Service Unit program is needed to com­ plement the DAV's National Service program because, "Many veterans, dependents and widows live some distance from VA facilities where DAV National Service offices are located. Our Field Service Unit program carries DAV services right to the doorsteps of these people. It's surprising how many people don't even know what benefits they're entitled to until they step into one of our mobile offices." DAV officials urge veterans of all wars, particularly disabled veterans, to take advantage of this free service by visiting the DAV mobile service unit to discuss any problems they may have concerning benefits. "Special emphasis is placed on Vietnam Era veterans." said Adams, "because many of these young men and Women are not taking advantage of the benefits they've earned " Local DAV and DAV Auxilairy , members are cooperating with the National Headquarters of the 550,000- member DAV in bringing the Field Service Unit program to this area Splrndld Soft Employer-Young man, I win hire no drinkers.
