Each year in Beaufort County, SC, thousands of service members transition from military service through retirement, EAS, and medical separation.

What many people do not realize is that transition affects far more than just the service member.

It impacts:
✔ Families
✔ Healthcare
✔ Employment
✔ Education planning
✔ VA disability claims
✔ Long-term financial stability

Beaufort County Veteran Service Officers regularly speak with transitioning service members about:

✔ Understanding separation timelines
✔ Gathering important documents
✔ Learning about available VA programs
✔ Understanding BDD eligibility
✔ Understanding the VA claims process

One of the biggest things we see is Veterans waiting until after separation to start learning about benefits they could have learned about months earlier.

The earlier a service member starts preparing, the smoother the transition process can be for both the Veteran and their family.

If you are preparing to separate or retire — or know someone who is — start asking questions early.

✔ Attend TRS
✔ Gather important documents
✔ Understand timelines and deadlines
✔ Speak with an accredited VSO
✔ Learn what benefits may be available to you and your family

One Veteran. One Family. One Transition at a Time.

🚨 VA OVERPAYMENT SCAM ALERT – READ THIS 🚨

Veterans are being targeted by scammers pretending to be the VA, claiming you owe an “overpayment” and demanding immediate payment.

⚠️ Red Flags to Watch For:
❌ Urgent calls or emails demanding payment
❌ Requests for gift cards, Zelle, Cash App, or crypto
❌ Threats of arrest or loss of benefits
❌ Asking for your SSN or banking info
❌ Pressure to “act now”

👉 The VA will NEVER:
✔️ Demand payment by phone
✔️ Ask for gift cards or wire transfers
✔️ Threaten arrest
✔️ Ask for personal info over the phone

✅ If you truly owe a debt, the VA will notify you by official mail through the VA Debt Management Center, and you’ll have options like:
• Payment plans
• Waivers
• Hardship reviews

📞 VA Debt Management Center: 800-827-0648
🌐 https://www.va.gov/manage-va-debt

🛑 If you get a suspicious call:
1️⃣ Don’t pay
2️⃣ Don’t give info
3️⃣ Hang up
4️⃣ Call VA directly
5️⃣ Report it to VA OIG or FTC

🇺🇸 When in doubt — talk to a VSO before paying anything.
Scammers count on fear. Don’t give it to them.

🇺🇸 DID YOU KNOW? 🇺🇸

You may be eligible to add a permanently disabled child as a dependent on your VA claim — even if they are over 18 years old.

If your child became disabled before age 18 and is unable to support themselves, the VA may recognize them as a “Helpless Child,” which can increase your monthly VA compensation if you’re rated 30% or higher.

✅ No age limit (if disability began before 18)
✅ Applies to physical and mental disabilities
✅ May increase your monthly VA benefits

⚠️ Many Veterans miss this benefit simply because they don’t know it exists.

📄 What’s required:
• VA forms
• Medical evidence showing permanent disability
• Proof the condition existed before age 18

💬 Have questions or need help filing?
That’s what we’re here for.
