About Our Service Officer

The American Legion accredited service officers are specially trained and experienced to provide expert assistance, free of charge, to veterans and their families. While the majority of a service officer’s work involves an application for VA disability benefits, these compassionate professionals also provide information, referrals, and resources on education, employment and business, death benefits, and other important topics. 

If possible, have the following ready when you make your appointment:

• DD Form 214 (Issued at separation) ***
• Service medical records (outpatient), dental records, entrance and separation examination reports
• Inpatient hospitalization records (private or military)
• Private outpatient medical records (if applicable)
• Personnel file
• Line of Duty (LOD) investigation reports
• Overseas or temporary duty (travel) orders

Separating personnel should ensure that all of the information (including awards, overseas time, campaigns, RE code, etc.) on the DD 214 is correct before signing. Uncorrected errors may cause problems in the future when applying for VA and other benefits.
