The advisors help explain the various Veterans Affairs benefits the service members are eligible for, including compensation, pension, home loans, education, insurance and burial benefits.
Twice a month on Fridays, Penn and Fritts teach a Transition Assistance Program.
“Any service member who is transitioning out of the military is required to attend this class as part of a set,” said Penn.
The pair work closely with A.B. Williams and Timothy Price, military service coordinators from the Dayton VA Medical Center located at the satellite VA/Department of Defense office in the Wright-Patterson Medical Center. They help file VA claims. The office is open every Monday and Wednesday from 8 a.m. to noon. Call 937-268-6511, ext. 5808 or 5810.
“A lot of research is being done because veterans benefits are always changing,” said Penn.
The Veterans Affairs Benefits office is open Monday through Friday from 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
“We can help make the transition,” said Penn.
