We have a new friend at the Seneca Free Library, and by friend I mean Veteran Affairs Service Representative! Jason Dishon has been here to visit the Seneca Free Library over the last two months but, for very unfortunate reasons he is well informed of, didn’t have anybody to meet with either day. We’re hoping to help fix that and put people in touch with the services they need by announcing: The Veteran Affairs Service Representative is back, he’s new to the territory, his name is Jason Dishon, he’s based out of Atchison, and he’s eager to work with our area veterans!

Examples of services offered include Disability Claims through the VA, Healthcare Access and Financial Support through the VA, Setting Up Survivor Pensions and Spousal Support, and Accessing Personal Service Records. Jason will be here again Tuesday, December 8, from 10:00 AM – 11:30 AM with future appointments planned for the 2nd Tuesday of every month. Until then, if you need to reach him and possibly get in to see him at another location sooner, you can call him at 785-338-2848. (Seneca Free Library does not handle scheduling for the VA reps. Be sure to call the listed number to confirm appointments and meetings.) Tell your friends and family who are veteran service members there’s a new representative in town and he’s ready to get to work for them!
