COLUMBIA - There's a new place for South Carolina veterans to get access to their benefits.

The Department of Veterans Affairs' new regional office is opening Monday adjacent to the Dorn VA Medical Campus.

Officials say the new location has about 100,000 square feet of office space with offices for VA Regional Counsel and training rooms for the Dorn VA Medical Center. The facility replaces the downtown office where South Carolina veterans have sought benefits for about 60 years.

Columbia VA Regional Office director Carl W. Hawkins says the new office will better serve veterans and their families.

A dedication ceremony is planned for early fall.
