One of the most daunting tasks as a veteran is completing your VA claim form.  Whether you are a veteran, military service worker, or a social worker helping a veteran, JWV is here to help you through the claims process.  Our National Service Officers (NSO) Program is a nationwide network of our members who are certified to help you navigate the claims process.

All of JWV’s National Service Officers are volunteers, offering their assistance free of any charges.  They have all been accredited by the Office of General Counsel of the US Department of Veterans Affairs, and they are available to any veteran who has served. Our NSOs offer help to veterans (and their families) to represent them in any claims that they might have with the VA.

Service Officers are with America’s veterans every step of the way once they’re ready to file a claim. This is a service the JWV is proud to offer–free of charge–to anyone seeking assistance with the claims process. It’s a service our veterans have earned and deserve.

If you would like to schedule an appointment with a national service officer regarding a claim, please contact JWV National Headquarters at 202-265-6280 or jwv@jwv.org.  You can also see the list of names and contact information of JWV’s NSOs below.
