Happy 2026 to Westwood veterans and their family members. Use the dawn of the New Year to ensure you and your loved ones have a copy of your DD Form 214 or relevant military discharge record. You must have the correct document in order to receive the benefits you’ve earned through your military service, including your death benefits. Come see us if you’re unsure if you have the right document or have other questions. While we accept walk-in appointments from 9-4 pm on Mondays at the Westwood Council on Aging, you can schedule an appointment through our office administrative assistant Tasha Epstein by calling 781-431-1019 and entering extension 2245.
