Our heart is right here in Polk County, where we stand side-by-side with our local heroes to ensure they live with the dignity they truly deserve. We serve the families of Central Iowa by securing every benefit earned through their sacrifice, fighting for the rights of our local wounded warriors, and helping our neighbors understand the value veterans bring to our community as they transition home. Our commitment to you is personal and local: Providing warm, expert guidance for Polk County veterans to navigate VA and Iowa state benefits at no cost. Creating outreach for friends in Greater Des Moines and veterans with disabilities across our local towns. Serving as a strong, steady voice for our local veterans and their survivors before state and county leadership. Sending real support into the very Iowa neighborhoods where our veterans and their families live and grow. Building a local network of volunteers where Polk County veterans can care for one another as brothers and sisters. Together, we ensure no one walks this path alone in our Iowa home.
Our Polk County Veteran Commitment
A local Polk County specialist can guide you through a formal appeal if required. Veterans in our Iowa community have three specific paths to review a decision. You may take an appeal to the Board of Veterans’ Appeals, ask for a senior VA adjudicator’s review, or submit a supplemental claim featuring new evidence.
