Veterans Services

Flagler County Veterans Services is a professional resource for all members of the armed forces of the United States, former, present, and future, including those with service connected and non service connected disabilities.

The office helps you find the benefits you earned, gather the right paperwork, and get a claim filed correctly the first time. There is no charge for any of it.

How we help

Six things this office does every day. Call for an appointment and bring what you have, even if the file is incomplete.

VA disability and pension

Help obtaining VA benefits for service connected disability compensation, non service connected pension, and home loan guaranty benefits.

Survivor benefits

Assistance for surviving spouses, children, and parents with burial in a national cemetery, reimbursed burial allowances, a government grave marker or headstone, government life insurance proceeds, and other survivor benefits.

VA health benefits

Help enrolling eligible veterans in VA health benefits, including outpatient services, inpatient hospital care, and long term care.

Property tax exemptions

Assistance obtaining exemption certification for property taxes.

State of Florida benefits

Veterans advocacy

Benefit guides

Review these guides to see what you may qualify for before your appointment.

Monthly newsletter

The Veterans Services information package, published monthly with benefit updates, deadlines, and local events.

Filing a claim

A claim moves faster when the paperwork is complete. At a minimum, bring a copy of your discharge, any service medical records you have, and medical records or provider names and dates covering treatment since separation. Claims involving a spouse or dependents also need marriage, death, divorce, and birth records, plus Social Security numbers and dates of birth.
