Each VSO receives training from the staff of the Department of Veterans Affairs and each of
them is trained to furnish information or assistance on a wide range of topics. The topics are
not limited to the ones listed here, but these do indicate the variety of issues in which they
might become involved in any given week. This list includes GI loans, compensation,
pensions, education (On-The-Job Training and Apprenticeship Training), rehabilitation,
medical and dental treatment, hospitalization or outpatient treatment or nursing home care,
residency at the State Veterans' Home, other state benefits, Social Security, alcoholism and
drug dependency treatment, employment and unemployment, small business loans,
corrections of military records, review of discharges, burial in a national cemetery, expense
reimbursement, headstone or burial allowance, obtaining flags, as well as the protection of
veterans' and widows' preferences. This is why one of the most important people for a
veteran, widow or dependent to know is his or her Veterans Service Officer.
