Campbell County Veteran Affairs Office

About Us

Who are we?

Shane Prater is the Director of the Campbell County Veteran Services Office along with his Deputy Director Gwen Lobertini. They are advocates established to assist veterans and/or their survivors to obtain entitled benefits from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and the State of Tennessee. Our office is a part of -- and is funded by -- Campbell County. We are not a part of the U. S. Department of Veterans Affairs, more commonly known as the “VA”. WE WORK FOR CAMPBELL COUNTY VETERANS AND THEIR SURVIVORS.

Although we cannot make decisions on claims that we help the veteran or survivor submit, we can provide our expert advice about the various VA and State of Tennessee benefit programs, as well as their eligibility requirements and application procedures. We also assist you in completing all the forms necessary to apply for benefits, and assist in gathering other supporting documentation necessary to file a proper claim or an appeal with the VA. We will also assist in resolving problems that arise from filing a benefit claim, and assist in getting answers to questions you may have about the laws and regulations that govern veterans’ and survivor benefits. We don’t just stop providing assistance after the benefit claim application has been submitted, we will stay with you throughout the entire claims process until you are satisfied with the results you receive from the VA.
