In April we appointed a new Service Officer. We would like to present Chuck Rathbun as the Chapter 18 service officer. He is preparing to complete training and certification in the first week of June.
One of the most confusing aspects of filing for service-connected disability compensation is figuring out how the Department of Veterans Affairs establishes a rating.
Once I have completed certification, I will be available at the DAV hall on the first and third Thursdays from 11am - 1pm and on Tuesdays from 2pm - 4:30pm to assist veterans and their dependents with claims and other benefit needs.
For assistance or information of other resources please call (231) 796-4772 or e-mail us at dav18mi@gmail.com.


Supporting a veteran spouse/partner has unique challenges, making it harder to connect with and relate to others. On the veteran side, there are programs and support groups geared for us. I rarely hear of similar resources for spouses/partners which is why I am so excited to share that we are hosting a local support group at our chapter.
The Spouses/Partners of Veterans Support Group will meet once a month.
If you are interested, please leave a message with your name and contact information at (231)768-3572, or e-mail us at dav18mi@gmail.com.
