Legion Branch Service Officers are the eyes and ears of the Veterans Services Network at the grass roots level, who often first come into contact with Veterans and their families. Branch Service Officers assist Veterans by identifying those with unmet health needs and possible benefits from VAC and then by making appropriate referrals to Command Service Officers.
The Legion’s Provincial Command Service Officers assist at the provincial and national level providing, among other things:
- Information and advice on available VAC programs and benefits
- Assistance with the preparation and submission of disability claims
- Assistance with the claims process from the first application up to and including a Request for Reconsideration with the Veterans Review and Appeal Board
- Professional advice and assistance in accessing other programs and benefits
The services provided by Provincial Command Service Officers are free of charge, whether or not you are a Legion member. Our representation role is mandated through legislation.
The Legion also assists and represents still serving Canadian Armed Forces members, RCMP members, and their families.
