The Veterans office provides information about veterans rights and entitlements under various local, state and federal laws, actively assists them in filling out necessary forms, and obtains documents and other evidence to forward to the North Carolina Division of Veterans Affairs for review and presentation to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. The Veterans Service Office processes claims for the following:

• Disabilities Compensation (Service Connected)
• Disabilities Pension (Non-Service Connected)
• Educational Benefits
• Insurance (Life)
• Death and Burial Benefits
• Health Care (Hospital, Clinic, Nursing Home)
• State Veterans Benefits

The Veterans Office supports all local veterans organizations and the Lee County Veterans Council. The office offers support for homebound veterans and/or veterans and dependents confined in nursing homes to ensure continuation of benefits.

We have service member counseling available on the 1st and 3rd Monday of each month.  Click here for more details!
