VA Benefits and Claims Assistance – Oahu

Veterans on Oahu seeking assistance with disability compensation, pension benefits, education benefits, home loan guarantees, or other federal Veterans benefits can access support through the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs and accredited representatives. The resources below provide official contact information and links for benefits counseling, claims submission, and assistance navigating the VA system.

The Oahu Veterans Council is a nonprofit organization and is not affiliated with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs or the Veterans Benefits Administration. We do not prepare, file, or adjudicate claims and do not determine eligibility for benefits. We provide publicly available contact information and website links as a community resource directory only. Veterans seeking claims assistance should work directly with the VA or an accredited Veterans Service Officer.
