This video "Veteran Outreach, Services, and Benefits: Paul Spedaliere on LOCAL ISSUES hosted by Irving Steel" features Paul Spedaliere, the Veteran Services Supervisor for the Connecticut Department of Veterans Affairs.

Spedaliere discusses his role overseeing veteran services offices throughout Connecticut, which assist veterans and their families with claims and benefits. He emphasizes the importance of veteran service officers (VSOs) in guiding veterans through the process of filing for benefits, ensuring they receive proper assistance without any charges.

The discussion covers various veteran benefits, including VA healthcare, compensation for service-related injuries, and support programs for transitioning back to civilian life. Spedaliere also highlights the need for veterans to join organizations like the American Legion and VFW, which advocate for veteran rights and benefits. The video underscores the complexities of navigating veteran benefits and the essential support provided by VSOs.

The newly appointed Veterans Services Supervisor, Paul Spedaliere, always strives to go above and beyond for the Veterans that he's servicing and working for. He's working for the State of Connecticut in the Department of Veterans Affairs in the Office of Advocacy and Assistance.

Many Veterans are overwhelmed as they transition from military life to civilian life, and even through the Transition Assistance Program (TAP), there are many benefits and services available to Veterans that they don't always avail themselves of. Paul works with a team of specialists trained and certified to walk Veterans through the process of receiving health benefits, insurance, disability claims, job placement, housing assistance, and more.

Paul recognizes the enormous sacrifice that veterans have made to serve the country and tries to do whatever is possible to ensure that veterans receive the needed support and benefits. Paul works throughout the five congressional districts in Connecticut and within each district, there is an office dedicated to service the Veterans throughout that region. Recently, the district hired two additional staff members to help support veterans throughout the state.

There are always opportunities and options to help better support Veterans. Going away for many years and coming back to your old surroundings and people you used to interact with can be very challenging. Paul and his team of dedicated staff try to make it a little easier for the Veterans throughout the transition to civilian life. There are always opportunities to volunteer. If viewers are interested in helping veterans throughout the region or state, please reach out to their office. There are Veteran volunteers in each of the 169 towns and municipalities throughout the state.
