Spotsylvania County, VA Veterans Service Office (VSO)

Find Virginia Department of Veterans Services claims contacts for Spotsylvania County.

If you live in Spotsylvania County, free claims help is available from an accredited VSO representative; confirm availability before traveling. Virginia Department of Veterans Services lists the Fredericksburg Office (Spotsylvania Ave) and Fredericksburg VA Health Care Center Office for claims. Call or request an appointment before visiting, since some sites require military installation access. These are claims offices, unlike the Virginia VFW department service contact, which is a referral contact with no usable Virginia office address; the official Virginia service directory can help you find a current claims representative. The Massaponax VA Clinic in Fredericksburg is 9 miles away, and the Richmond VA Medical Center is 48 miles away, measured in a straight line from the county center, not by road. Spotsylvania County’s largest veteran service-era group is post-9/11 and Gulf War (1990s), about 3,130, give or take 456; PACT Act exposure questions depend on where and when you served.
