From the U.S. DVA Veterans Benefit Administration:

A new VA "Walk-In Claims" pilot program is available for Kansas and Wisconsin Veterans, the first in the nation. The Wichita and Milwaukee VA Regional Offices offer on-the-spot reviews of claims for compensation and pension benefits. The goal is expedited claims decisions for Veterans. In some cases, decisions may be immediate or provided within days.

Come on in, or call to reserve a seat at the next claims clinic or to set up an appointment with a claims representative. Or contact your Veterans Service Officer.
