Washington County Veterans Service Office

The county's own Veteran Services page was read in a browser on October 12, 2026, after the sweep's automated fetches answered 403, and it matches the Department of Veterans Affairs' county service officer finder (last updated August 19, 2026): the office at 62 W. North Street, Fayetteville 72701, phone 479-444-1767, weekdays 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., with veterans service officer Benjamin Dykes and two assistants (the page's staff list sits under a Staff link). The finder adds the officer's email, [email protected], and names the assistants Aleesha Armstrong and Brent Sarver. The page's own sections cover Disability Compensation, Pension, Benefit, and Spouses, Dependents and Survivors, and its "What Does Veteran Services Do?" description says the office helps veterans and families apply for Federal VA benefits and makes local resources accessible: filing claims, military disability, veterans pension, housebound and aid and attendance, survivor's benefits, burial benefits, re-evaluations and appeals, and filing changes (personal information, direct deposit, marital status, dependants, fiduciaries, overpayments, medical expense reports), plus referral to other government entities, military education benefits, vocational rehab, VA hospital benefits, military retirement benefits, Social Security disability and benefits, and job opportunities. The page also links a VA Benefits Navigator survey, the Arkansas Department of Veterans Affairs, a Community Local Discount Guide and Disabled American Veterans. A county veterans service officer serves at the pleasure of the county judge, is trained and tested by the Department under section 25-43-1605, and is partly paid by the State under section 20-81-106. Help with a claim is free.
