At what point should I contact a US government agency about receiving my full benefits as a veteran?

The federal government agency that oversees veteran benefits is the Department of Veterans Affairs. Benefits for veterans and their families can include health, home loan, life, education and burial assistance.

You must file a claim with the Department of Veterans Affairs to receive these benefits. The process you must go through with the government will result in a decision by the department as to whether they feel you qualify for assistance. If their decision isn't satisfactory and you feel that you're unduly being denied benefits, you will have to undergo an appeal process.

Because the laws with regard to benefit assistance can be complicated, it might be helpful to contact an attorney that specializes in dealing with this very issue.
