The Representative was supposed to mail two forms well before Thanksgiving but they have never arrived. I have called multiple times but cannot get past the receptionist. There is always an excuse as to "why" nobody is available. One week all reps were in training, another week they were all on vacation, I was asked to call back last week and was told, "sorry, if you do not hear anything in a couple of weeks, call again" . I explained that I did not really need to talk to anyone, I only needed to know when the forms were mailed by "Mr. XXX" because we have not received them. The receptionist then told me "the mail is running behind due to the Thanksgiving Holiday"(seriously?). All of the above is quite disgraceful to anyone, let alone Veterans. Shame, shame, shame. Granted, my Husbands issue are his legs...but what if the issue were more serious? Afterall, the DAV runs a myriad of commercials stating their dedication to Veterans. This may be true but it makes me wonder if they are simply overloaded. Anyways, I have printed the forms that were supposed to be mailed to me by downloading them on my own. I have done additional research and am going to contact our local Veterans Affairs Officer on Monday. (which I learned on your site! If all else fails, we have compiled everything necessary and may take care of this on our own. Thank you for listening and I wish you all the best of luck.

I fired the DAV and did it all my self but I did an unbelievable amount of research before I sent the first. SW if you are going that route, read Fanaticbooks post on how to file a claim. .http://www.howtoassemblevaclaims.com/ the very first topic on the home page is also very helpful. Each forum has pinned topics that are very useful in filing claims that pertain to that forum Lou SSG Santa Fe NM 4/21 11LIB Americal 1/69-8/70 50% PTSD 60% IHD 100% IU P&T

"just keep doing what your doing."You should here something by May, if not, we may need to file those extra contentions.... I get so much more information here on VBA.

Some thoughts/quetions to share.... - if the VA really believes in its charter, why then do we actually need "service organizations"? - I'm a life member of the DAV, yet they cannot tell me why an RO has not acted on my 3 year old appeal or what, if any, information is needed by the BVA to resolve the appeal - If the Service Organizations would combine to ONE organization, think how powerful the lobby would be! - Why haven't they pressured the VA to resolve appeals (especially RVN stuff) in a timely manner? - Why are we not permitted to have an attorney involved until the appeal is denied?........the VA can stall forever and we have no recourse (that I know of anyway) To those who were successful in your VA experience, I both congratulate an envy you. Well done. Again to all, Welcome Home.
