Sheboygan County

Believing that many veterans, as well as qualified dependents and survivors are not aware of what is available for them, The Wisconsin Department of Veterans Affairs, along with the County Veterans Service Officers Association of Wisconsin and the U S Department of Veterans Affairs have launched an I OWE YOU campaign.

We know, for example, that there are veterans, veterans and spouses, and surviving spouses of deceased veterans who reside in nursing homes who are not receiving pension from the VA because they are not aware of it.

We believe there may be veterans (both male and female) with service related disabilities who may be entitled to additional compensation dollars because their service related disability has either gotten worse, or they have never filed a claim with the VA.

We believe there are veterans who attend school, either full or part time to maintain job skills who may be entitled to full or partial reimbursement of the of cost of schooling.

We know there are veterans out there who would probably use a PMI (private mortgage insurance) waived first mortgage loan to buy a home if they knew such a loan was available.
Qualified veterans may avail themselves of quality health care at a reasonable cost by enrolling in the health care system.
Did you know the VA Medical Centers offer special physical examinations for Persian Gulf War veterans, former Prisoners of War and those veterans exposed to Agent Orange & Ionizing radiation ?

I OWE YOU is not a promise of cheap, easy or free money, nor is it the magic elixir that will resolve you health problems. I OWE YOU is the promise of a thorough review of your situation by your County Veterans Service Officer (CVSO). As a trained professional Veterans Benefits Counselor, your CVSO has the knowledge and expertise to help you determine what benefits you may be entitled to, and will assist you in obtaining your entitlement.

Who or where is your County Veterans Service Officer? There is a CVSO in every county in Wisconsin. You can locate the CVSO in your area by calling 1-800-947-8387 or visit our web site www.wicvso.org
