Medical Centers
in Bay Pines, Gainesville, Lake City, Miami, West Palm Beach and Tampa
maintain qualified staffs of Veterans Claims Examiners to assist
veterans in obtaining specific benefits for which the veteran may be
eligible and assist the veteran and family members in applying for and
securing such benefits.
The Departments Claims Service Office in the
VA Regional Office,
St. Petersburg, maintains a qualified staff of Veterans Claims
Examiners to, among other things, facilitate the processing of claims
for entitlements submitted by veterans or their survivors. The Bay
Pines FDVA office responds to veterans inquiries pertaining to
pending or established claims as well as concentrating on reviewing of
VA decisions and represents veterans in the preparation and
prosecution of appealed claims.
Veteran assistance is also
available through a statewide network of county or city Veteran
Service officers employed by local boards of County Commissioners. All
services provided free of charge. For complete information on
veterans' programs, entitlements, and referral services, veterans
