Legion Branch Service Officers are the eyes and ears of the Veterans Services Network at the grassroots level, who often first come into contact with Veterans and their families. Branch Service Officers assist Veterans by identifying those with unmet health needs and possible benefits from VAC and then by making appropriate referrals to Command Service Officers.
Command Service Officers are trained, knowledgeable and focused on helping you.
The Legion’s Professional Command Service Officers assist at the provincial and national level providing, among other things:
The services provided by Professional Command Legion Service Officers are free of charge, whether or not you are a Legion member. Our representation role is mandated through legislation.
The Legion also assists and represents still serving Canadian Armed Forces members, RCMP members, and their families.
Please contact a Legion Professional Command Service Officer for information on benefits and resources you may be eligible for, or to request assistance with Veterans Affairs Canada disability claim or appeals process.
Professional Command Service Officers are mandated by legislation to provide representation at all levels of the disability claim process under the Pension Act or the Veterans Well-being Act. The privacy and confidentiality of Veterans and their families are of utmost importance to the Legion.
