VA to help veterans sign up for benefits at Columbus campus

The Veterans Affairs administration in Indianapolis will be holding events Tuesday and Wednesday in Columbus aimed at getting veterans signed up for benefits they are entitled to.

Alison Quinn, with the Veterans Health Administration office in Indianapolis explains.

Quinn says that they will be set up on the campus of IUPUC and Ivy Tech from 10 to 4 p.m., Tuesday and Wednesday.

Quinn said that it is important to bring a copy of your DD-214, although if you have lost the discharge form, the VA staff will help you fill out the paperwork to receive a replacement. You should also bring an estimate of your annual income, she said.

Pete Scoville, with the Veterans Health Administration office in Indianapolis, says that veterans, especially younger ones, don’t know what their benefits can do for them.
