Military/Veterans

My office is committed to assisting our men and women currently in uniform and Veterans of the United States Military, including: active duty, reserves, National Guard and Coast Guard with benefit inquiries, personnel and medical record requests, and requests for medals and/or discharge papers (DD214). 

If you are currently on active duty, I recommend that you first use your chain of command.  If you have exhausted your chain of command, your home of record is Connecticut and you have not received a response, please fill out this online form and privacy release.  Please print, sign and send the privacy release to my Hartford office.  Once it is received, a member of my Constituent Services team will contact you to discuss how we can best help you resolve your issue.  Please allow up to two weeks from the time we receive your privacy release for my office to contact you.

If you are Veteran in search of benefits, please be advised that my office cannot file a claim for you, nor can we file an appeal on your behalf.  I can inquire as to the status of your claim or appeal.  If you are a Veteran seeking help with a claim, please fill out this online form and privacy release.  Please print, sign and send the privacy release to my Hartford office.  Please include the claim number, Veteran’s social security number and a copy of your DD214 if you have one.  Once this information is received, a member of my Constituent Services team will contact you to discuss how we can best help you resolve your issue.  Please allow up to two weeks from the time we receive your privacy release for my office to contact you.

If your issue is time sensitive please contact my Hartford office at 860-258-6940.
