The Disabled American Veterans Mobile Service unit is parked outside the Veterans Administration clinic near The Market Common until Tuesday night.
Inside, representatives from DAV hope to help veterans wade through the mountains of paperwork and forms that can pile up.

“Because VA regulations are so complicated for a normal person, we’re here to assist (veterans),“ said Bill Patterson, who works for Disabled American Veterans. “That’s what we specialize in,‘ he said.

Patterson said the mobile unit will remain until the last person is seen on Tuesday afternoon.

“It’s unbelievably invaluable,“ said Patterson. “If they have an issue on a VA decision, they should bring the most recent rating decision the got from the Veterans Administration, because the more information we have, the better informed decision we can make in order to help them,“ he said.
