– The Colonel in Your Corner with Karl Truman
One of the best pieces of advice for people serving in the military is to keep a copy of every piece of paper one receives during service and after discharge. That’s the advice of Tara Avis, The Veteran Service Officer who works at the Harrison County Veterans Service Office.
Tara is an Army Reserve veteran who served as a logistics specialist. She also worked teaching the Nine Flying Tigers unit at Fort Knox and was stationed in Bardstown, Kentucky.
Tara is well trained as a VSO to help with county, State and Federal benefits.
Our conversation is filled with tips on how to file claims and she is passionate about helping veterans file, especially for benefits that they may not know they’re eligible for.
Highlights include:
To start the claim, one needs Discharge papers from the National Guard or Reserve time-we can help if you don’t have.
Preparing records from military time, especially if filing a disability claim.
Veterans can file a claim even if they didn’t serve in combat.
Eligibility even if hurt in basic training.
Handling claims even if injured while on leave.
How a buddy statement holds weight when filing a claim.
