DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS' SERVICES

"...to care for those that have borne the battle and their widows and orphans."

A. Lincoln

"Assisting veterans with benefits and services they have so valiantly earned by serving their Country in time of need will never go out of fashion. That's the responsibility of the veterans' services department."

For 139 years, since 1861, from its first commitments to Civil War veterans, their spouses, and their dependents, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts has demonstrated solid concern and compassion for those men and women who have displayed sacrifice, valor, and duty when their state and nation called upon them. The Massachusetts department of Veterans’ Services supports a network of services and benefits to ensure that none of the 657,000 veterans in Massachusetts today, who served in time of war, nor their 1.2 million dependents will go hungry, be homeless, or be medically deprived.
 

The City of Pittsfield Veterans Services provides a wide range of benefits and services to our veterans and eligible dependants of veterans.  In the veterans’ time of need, our office can supply benefits related to help with ordinary living expenses until other sources of income can be acquired (M.G.L. Chapter 115). We provide services related to processing VA claims including VA pensions, rehabilitation, counseling related to employment, copies of discharges as well as a variety of other areas.
