Virginia Department of Veterans Services

The Virginia Department of Veterans Services (VDVS) operates 28 benefit services offices that assist veterans and their family members in filing claims for federal veterans benefits; two veterans care centers offering skilled nursing, Alzheimer’s/dementia, and short term rehabilitative care for veterans; and three veterans cemeteries that provide an honored final resting place for veterans and their families.  VDVS provides veterans and family members with direct linkages to needed services including behavioral healthcare, housing, employment, education, and other programs.  The Department operates the Virginia War Memorial, the Commonwealth of Virginia’s monument to honor the memory of Virginia’s men and women who demonstrated a willingness to serve and fight to defend our way of life from World War II to the present.
