KDVA provides professional assistance to veterans in obtaining and utilizing all the federal and state veterans benefits to which they are entitled.

KDVA never charges a fee to veterans for help in filing claims for veterans benefits.

All KDVA benefits representatives are fully accredited by the Veterans Administration

Please Note:

We encourage you to contact the benefits representative whose location is most convenient for you, not necessarily the representative in your county of residence.

We are here to serve you.

If you have an emergency that cannot wait for a return call from your benefits counselor,
please contact your Regional Administrator:
