Transcript

Hello, my name is Mikyung Hong. I'm a veterans service officer.

What papers should I bring to my first visit?

For a first visit to a veterans service office, the most useful papers show military service. The main one is usually a discharge record, such as the DD214. A photo ID and any letters from the VA also help.

Other papers depend on the help you want. A disability claim may need medical records, and family benefits may need marriage or birth certificates. If a record is missing, the service officer can often help request a copy.

Call the office if you have questions about your visit or your service. This is general information, not personal instructions. Your service officer can explain what applies to you.

Thanks for watching.
