Veteran Services

The Highlands County Veteran Services Office (VSO) serves the veteran, and/or family, by providing services and assisting in the application for additional benefits through the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).  Such benefits may include disability compensation, non-service connected pensions, information regarding home loan certification, funeral or burial reimbursements and VA medical enrollment. The VSO also assists with benefits offered by Highlands County and state or federal governments.

By interviewing the veteran and/or their family, the VSO determines the needs and identifies the type of services available. You may be eligible for Department of Veterans Affairs benefits if you are: a veteran, a veteran’s dependent, a veteran’s surviving spouse or child, a member of the Reserves, a member of the National Guard or an active duty service member.
