| DVS Springfield Benefits Office | (703) 359-1210 | Managed by the Virginia Department of Veterans Services, the Springfield Benefits Office helps U.S. military vets and their families get the state and federal benefits they should. Located only minutes from Alexandria, it can also help eligible veterans apply for allowances that meet some long-term care costs, such as VA Aid Attendance. Additionally, it can refer those discharged from active service to the Alexandria VA Vet Center if they need support from counselors to deal with issues such as addiction and depression. |
