VA Commissioner urges vets to sign up for benefits

Washington County's Veteran's Assistance Office is urging local men and women who've served in the armed forces to register for benefits. VA Commissioner Terry Phillips says even if you don't feel you need the benefits, it's still important to get your information in the system. Phillips says a lot of the paperwork involved in registering can be rather cumbersome. He says VA Director Sue Rich is well versed and can help veteran's fill it out. He's especially encouraging younger veterans to sign up.
