Disability Benefits

VA disability compensation offers a monthly tax-free payment to Veterans who got sick or injured while serving in the military and to Veterans whose service made an existing condition worse. You may qualify for VA disability benefits for physical conditions (like a chronic illness or injury) and mental health conditions (like PTSD) that developed before, during, or after service. 

The Washburn County Veterans Service Office will assist Veterans residing in Washburn County with submitting their service connected disability compensation claim.  Please call the office at 715-635-4470 to set up an appointment to meet with the County Veterans Service Officer in order to ensure you receive your maximum benefit.
