Veterans Legal Services Laws in Wisconsin.

Veterans' benefits are predominantly a federal-law practice administered by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs under Title 38 of the U.S. Code. VA disability compensation, pension, and healthcare eligibility rules do not vary state-to-state. The Wisconsin Department of Veterans Affairs (WDVA) operates state-specific benefits and three Wisconsin Veterans Homes (King, Chippewa Falls, Union Grove). Wisconsin National Guard operations center on Fort McCoy (in Monroe County) and Volk Field.
