Saratoga County Veterans Service Agency

Last week I had an appointment to receive assistance in filing a federal claim for veterans disability compensation. I was happy to see that the small office was fully accessible and accommodating for disabled clients such as myself. While waiting I realized that the staff where quite pleasant and quite busy! A bit later a fellow came up to shake hands and said that he was Frank McClement. “I’m the Director here and since we’re backed up today I will handle you directly.He reviewed the numerous forms that my respective doctors had completed and commented that most veterans he sees have one or two presumptive conditions that qualify them for payments. I see that you have 5 or 6…….that’s good news! I quipped “that’s my good news And that’s also my bad news!!!” He said that I should electronically file my claim today and I indicated that I wasn’t too good with electronics. Well sit back then while I do it for you he said. I thought to myself, son of a gun……..that’s a Director!!!!! He instructed me to call him directly if the Feds had any questions or required any more info. When I returned home I remember thinking that I should write a note because that small cadre of employees were truly a credit to the civil and public service. And that’s a fact Jack! 🇺🇸 Signed George “DOC” Sinnott, 2nd Battalion—26th Marines, Khe Sanh —1968

I just got off the phone with Frank. He knew more about veteran disability benefits than my PEBLO, command, or any website that I could find. He is an amazing resource in this community.

Frank is one of the best, I couldn’t have asked for a better representative. The whole team there is amazing. Thank you!!!!!
