VETERANS' RIGHTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES

When visiting the local County Veterans Service Office (CVSO), the veteran should expect the CVSO officer, or financial assistance investigator, hereafter referred to only as investigator, to provide the very best possible service when filing your claim with the Department of Veterans Affairs (Dept. of VA) or seeking local financial assistance. As the representative of the county veterans service commission (CVSC), the CVSO or investigator also has expectations of you. These include you be 100% honest and truthful when filling out the claims or financial assistance forms.

There is also the taxpayer's expectation that you will be actively seeking employment through the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services (ODJFS) prior to seeking financial assistance.

If you are unable to work, you will need to provide a current medical statement signed by your doctor that describes your disability and how it affects your ability to work. There also is the expectation you will follow recommendations of the CVSC and its CVSO, or investigator in matters involving your request for financial assistance or any claim with the Department of Veterans Affairs.
