Report of the District Department of Veterans Services <br /> Dear Residents: <br /> 2009 has been an extremely difficult and most challenging year for Veterans' Services due to the <br /> economic conditions and the ever expanding conflicts overseas. The demand for Veterans' <br /> benefits has increased tenfold in the last 2 1/2 years. <br /> I <br /> Throughout the District we have seen over 6,000 walk-ins inquiring about their veterans' <br /> benefits on all levels, from the Federal, State and local levels. <br /> i <br /> To make it easier on the veteran seeking some assistance, we try and be a one-stop center for all <br /> their needs and the staff has worked extremely hard to provide the assistance to accomplish our <br /> goal of being the one-stop center. <br /> During 2009 we saw over 6,000 veterans seeking some assistance, we obtained over $30,000,000 <br /> in federal benefits from the VA for the veterans in the district and we spent over $700,000 in o,> <br /> local assistance to needy veterans under the Chapter 115 program in the district. ' <br /> We encourage any veteran or dependent of a veteran to seek our services and we can be reached <br /> at 1-888-778-8701 Monday to Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. We can also schedule <br /> appointments in one of our offices, in the Town Hall, at your home or any location that is best <br /> for you. j <br /> i <br /> R <br /> We are anxious and willing to assist you with any of your veterans needs so please contact us. <br /> In service to Veterans, <br /> Sidney L.
