What does a veterans service representative do?

Veterans service representatives help veterans navigate the applications and procedures of the Veterans Services Administration to receive benefits and medical care. Programs available to veterans include job placement services, pensions, disability benefits, continuing education, healthcare, and housing. When applying for these benefits, the veterans service representative works with the applicant to ensure all required paperwork is submitted on time. As a veterans service representative, you track your client’s claims and advocate for their application to be reviewed and approved in a timely manner. Strong written and verbal communication skills, as well as clerical skills, are all critical to the job.
