Service dog application process

[Knockwood4]

I have decided to apply for a successor hearing dog. Things have changed since I received my 1st dog. The VA helped with reports and recommendation needed by the non-profit organization but the costs of obtaining were strictly mine. After I had my dog for a few years the VA started proving Veterinarian care, which was a godsend when he developed cancer. 

My question is what forms do I need to fill out for obtaining a service dog through prosthetics.

I believe you need a prescription or referral from your doctor to prosthetics here's a link to help

I tried to ask my doctor about it at my VA appointment and he told me they don't do anything. I need to go to a dog trainer and bring the letter to him and he will sign it. 

That link to the website above suggests the doctor will give me a referral and then prosthetics will start the process? 

I'm confused and can't find any specific information. Help please

Try calling prosthetics directly and see if they give you the details on the process.
