Disabled Veterans

I’m a Disabled Veteran… What Programs Are Available to Help Me?

First, a question for you: have you applied for VA Disability? Many veterans with service-connected disabilities never apply for VA Disability, and as a result they are not eligible for the programs specifically created for disabled veterans. If you do have service-connected disability and would like to apply, we recommend working with one of the service officers below:

  • American Legion Veteran Service Officer (Office at White River Junction)     (802) 296-5166
  • Disabled American Veterans Veteran Service Officer (Office at White River Junction)     (802) 296-5167
  • Veterans of Foreign Wars Veteran Service Officer (Office at White River Junction)     (802) 296-5168
  • Vietnam Veterans of America (Various Locations Statewide)     (603) 283-3164
  • State of Vermont Veteran Service Officer Program (Travels Statewide)     (888) 666-9844

Although this is not an exhaustive list, here are the primary benefits described on this site that are specifically for disabled veterans:
