Compensation and Pension Benefits



Fact Sheets

Information dissemination is an important VA responsibility. Compensation and Pension Service provides these fact sheets which are of interest to veterans, servicepersons (including Reserve and National Guard members), and their dependents and survivors.

Some fact sheets are not directly related to compensation and pension benefits. They are included here because Compenation and Pension Service is largely responsible for outreach and information dissemination on the wide range of VA benefits. The service accomplishes that primarily through Veterans Service Centers at 57 VA regional offices.

Veterans Service Center employees respond to telephone, personal, correspondence, and e-mail inquiries. They conduct scheduled briefings such as for the Transition Assistance Program (TAP) and Disabled Transition Assistance Program (DTAP) for separating military service persons . Those briefings cover all VA benefits and services. They also conduct special, customized briefings on request.
