Area Veterans encouraged to reach out to local VSO

Many changes have been made in Veterans Affairs Health Benefits over the last couple years, which means it’s important for veterans to make sure they are getting the benefits they are entitled to. Kurt Ellefson of Polk County Veterans Services encourages all area veterans to reach out to their local veterans service office to get assistance. 

However, Ellefson says it’s important for veterans to reach out to their local veterans service officer, as they can’t help if you don’t do so, and he also explains how Polk County, and Red Lake County veterans can get ahold of his office. 

More information regarding veterans benefits can be seen online at www.va.gov. To locate a Veterans Service Office near you go to countyinfo.hoursguide.com/mn-veterans-affairs-department.
