Disabled American Veterans (DAV) & Somers Dept. of Veterans Affairs
Offer FREE DAV Information Seminar
Thursday, Sept. 21, 2023
There is a good reason why the Department of Veterans Affairs in Somers is inviting all veterans and their family members to attend this DAV Information Seminar.
Why? So many injured veterans feel confused about what benefits and services they have earned for their military service. There’s so much to know…and so many changes from one year to the next.
DAV Information Seminars are held to educate veterans and their families on specific veterans’ benefits and services. These free seminars are run by DAVs highly trained National Service Officers (NSOs) and are held around the country. DAV is the recognized leader in providing the best counseling and claim filing assistance available to veterans and their families. Their NSOs are experts on veterans’ benefits, educated in the full range of benefits for military veterans, retirees, and their families. They will strengthen your knowledge and understanding of the benefits and services you’ve earned.
This DAV Information Seminar features experienced DAV National Service Officer and Army veteran, Miguel Cintron. Mr. Cintron will be educating our local veterans and family members about their earned benefits and sharing information regarding compensation and pension claims from 9 AM to 12 PM and then providing them with free, professional claims assistance from 1:00 – 3:00 PM (first come, first served).
