Request a Disability Claim Review
Every month or two, we host American Legion Department of Colorado service officers at Post 5 to help veterans file initial claims or claim upgrades. If you have already filed a claim but feel it was less than what you deserve, or if you have developed health conditions you believe are service connected, please contact us. Also, the recently passed PACT Act has opened up additional avenues for disability compensation.
If you would like to schedule a time with an American Legion service officer, please reach out to ALPost5Adjutant@gmail.com or (719) 357-6253.
