Our Mission

The West Virginia Department of Veterans Assistance's (WVDVA) mission is to aid and advise honorably discharged West Virginia Veterans and their qualifying dependents and to ensure they are provided with the care, assistance and recognition they deserve. Numerous programs, statewide benefit offices and three facilities fall under the purview of the WVDVA, enabling the department to meet this goal.
