A new veterans guide was published by the Office of Personnel Management.
Section 6 details the Special Hiring Authorities available to Veterans. The VEOA (Veterans Employment Opportunities Act) is a program where veterans who
have served at least 3 years on active duty can apply for jobs, even if they may
not be entitled to the 5 or 10 point preferences. Section 9 lists the
campaign medals, etc which are qualifying for Veterans Preference.

Department of Veterans Affairs Regional Office
Below is the address for West Virginia's Regional Office, where disabled
veterans can get a "benefit letter for employment purposes", to support their
claim for a 10-point Veterans Preference. They will also need to complete the
SF-15 form when applying for jobs, claiming that preference. This form (and
others) can be found at www.opm.gov/forms
When submitting the benefit letter, they may keep the original and submit
copies.
