Veterans Services

Santa Rosa County Veterans Services assists in filing Department of Veteran Affairs claims or other VA benefits, as well as answering any questions you may have regarding Florida's benefits for veterans.

All VA claims are submitted online, directly to the Department of Veterans Affairs. Once this happens, only the Veteran or Claimant will receive letters from the VA. Therefore, when the VA has completed your claim, please bring your rating decision to our office so we may update our records.

Get enrolled into the Department of Veterans Affairs Health System. 

For all veterans, spouses, or dependents who wish to file for VA benefits click here.

Intent to File:
If you have already used eBenefits, called the VA, or asked us to submit your Intent to File (ITF), please remember you have one year to the day that you filed your ITF to submit your claim and all evidence to the VA. If you would like our team to help you, please contact us no later than 60 days prior to your ITF deadline.
