Disabled American Veterans, Chapter 5 (DAV-5) provides advocacy for thousands of veterans from every walk in life, resulting in millions of dollars in benefits.
About:
When disabled veterans finish their service, they can face obstacles when they seek the compensation they’ve earned serving our Country. Paperwork, red tape, and the complexities of the VA system can all stand in the way of a veteran receiving proper payment.
Sometimes documents are missing and need to be recovered. Sometimes paperwork needs to be completed in the proper order. Some claims can take years, but DAV-5 stands with veterans all the way.
DAV-5 has had great success in bringing compensation to the veterans we serve.
