EL PASO COUNTY, Colo. (KOAA) \u2014 The El Paso County Division of Veterans Services will be hosting a Veterans Claims Clinic in Calhan on Saturday, March 28. <\/p>\n

The clinic will begin at 9:00 a.m. and run until 2:00 p.m. at VFW Post 5221 (568 Colorado Avenue). <\/p>\n

County officials say the clinic is part of the Division’s efforts to expand outreach beyond Colorado Springs. <\/p>\n

Veterans, dependents, and survivors will have the opportunity to talk with Veterans Service Officers to receive guidance on VA disability, pensions, survivor benefits, healthcare, and other programs. <\/p>\n

\u201cAccess to benefits shouldn\u2019t depend on geography. By hosting clinics in communities like Calhan, we\u2019re making sure Veterans across our county can connect with the support they\u2019ve earned.\u201d<\/p>\n

Charles Graves, El Paso County Veterans Services Division Manager<\/p>\n

Services are free and are offered on a first-come, first-served basis. <\/p>\n

Veterans are asked to bring the following documentation;<\/p>\n
