Two Women Veterans Coordinators — and They Do Different Jobs

There are two women veterans coordinators serving veterans here and they are not interchangeable. The state office of veterans affairs has one, at (802) 828-0382, who works on benefits issues including disability compensation applications. The federal medical centre at White River Junction has another, who is a patient advocate on health care issues. Sending a claim question to the health advocate, or a gynaecology question to the benefits coordinator, is the commonest way a woman veteran loses a month here.

What this benefit is

There are two women veterans coordinators serving veterans here and they are not interchangeable. The state office of veterans affairs has one, at (802) 828-0382, who works on benefits issues including disability compensation applications. The federal medical centre at White River Junction has another, who is a patient advocate on health care issues. Sending a claim question to the health advocate, or a gynaecology question to the benefits coordinator, is the commonest way a woman veteran loses a month here.

What it's worth: A state women veterans coordinator for benefits and disability claims, and a separate federal coordinator at the medical centre for health care

  • The state office of veterans affairs has a women veterans coordinator, reached on (802) 828-0382, who assists with benefits issues including applications for disability compensation.
  • The federal medical centre at White River Junction has a separate women veterans coordinator who assists with health care issues and serves as a patient advocate.
  • The medical centre offers gynaecology services, breast exams and mammography, reproductive health care, and menopause treatment, referring elsewhere for services it does not provide.
  • The state office is at 118 State Street, Montpelier, and is open Monday to Friday, 7:30am to 4:00pm.
  • The state office can be reached on (802) 828-3379 or toll-free in state on (888) 666-9844.
  • The office’s page does not describe any women-specific housing or childcare provision.
  • The office’s page cites no statutory authority for the coordinator post.

Who is entitled to it

  • You are in this state.

Not sure whether that describes you?

Answer a few questions about this benefit specifically — we only ask what this one actually depends on, and we stop as soon as we know.

From what you have told us so far, you appear to qualify.

How to claim it

  1. 1Sort your question before you dial. Benefits, disability compensation and claims go to the state office coordinator; health care, appointments and treatment go to the medical centre coordinator.
  2. 2Use the state coordinator for a compensation claim rather than a general adviser if you would prefer to speak to someone whose brief is women veterans. That is explicitly what the post covers here.
  3. 3Ask the medical centre coordinator about referrals, not only about what is on site. Gynaecology, breast exams and mammography, reproductive health care and menopause treatment are provided there, and anything beyond that is referred out.
  4. 4Use the toll-free state number if you are calling from within the state — the office publishes it alongside the direct line.
  5. 5Do not assume housing or childcare provision exists because a coordinator does. The office’s own page describes neither.

No renewal
Once granted it does not need renewing.
CorrectionDirectories often list a single "women veterans coordinator" for the state and give the medical centre’s number. There are two posts. One is a state benefits post and one is a federal health care advocate, and they answer different questions.
Known gapWhether this post has a statutory basis, and what duties a statute might impose on it, is unread. The legislature’s own site refused every connection this session and is filed as a candidate.
Worth knowingThis is a coordinator, not a programme. The office’s page describes access to a person, not a set of women-specific services with entitlements behind them.

Sources

Why only one source type: The state office is the body that appoints its own coordinator and its page is the description of the post. The legislature’s statute server refused connections outright this session, so no statutory basis is asserted.
