Dear Fellow Veteran,
The first thing you should know is that the Medina County Veterans Service Office is NOT a branch of the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). We do not approve or deny VA claims.
Know your rights and benefits, the County Veterans Service Office knows the extent, the meaning and the application of laws that have been passed by the U.S. Congress in the interests of veterans and their dependents. They also know the rules and regulations adopted by the Department of Veterans Affairs to clarify and implement those laws. The County Veterans Service Officer will apply specialized knowledge in the way best suited to the needs of every individual veteran or other beneficiary who comes to the office for assistance. It is important to remember that laws concerning VA benefits are constantly changing and it is best to file for all VA benefits that you might have coming to you.
