Baltimore,maryland Dav Never Return Calls

[Maurice]

Many disable veterans call the The DAV in Baltimore,Maryland and never get a return call from the SO.I want to know why. I called 3 times last week and the person that answer the phone said a SO will return my call. It been 5 days and I had not heard from the DAV. SAD Life time member

I've had the same experience with the local DAV and the DAV co-located with the VARO.

I don't believe this to be isolated to this area of the country, and also not limited to the DAV...VFW have selective memory too when it comes to calling or emailing back. Let's not forget the StateVets Commission SO too. I am still waiting for the return call from weeks ago...assured it would be in 1 or 2 days. Maybe she meant to say 1 or 2 years.

I would recommend you call the National office and put in a complaint.

my 22month journey started with the DAV rep not taking my case because it could not be won because I did not have treatment records (12 yrs) spanning the entire time from seperation to present day. He had no idea what the laws/regs were for getting a condition sc'd. I told him about the three hickson elements (current disability,inservice occurance and link connecting the two) and he had no idea what I was talking about.

I went down the hall to the american legion. They accepted me and gave me a note to take to my dr and get him to sign. That didn;'t work either. I found this site and Dr. Bash. I was sc'd in 60 days without a c&p.

The DAV does not return calls in Tampa either. They are the worst. None of them are much good, but I found the county reps the best here in Florida. None of them can argue a complicated case.

About 7 or 8 years ago, I had the call not returned problem with the Columbia DAV Office. I finally had enough & wrote the National Commander a nice letter. Guess what, the head of the office called me. He wanted to know why I hadn't called them with my problem before going to national.

When I finished with him, he didn't have any more questions except what can we do for you. I told him I wanted my damn claim returned to BVA. Within week my file was in DC & shortly had my increase to 50% with more than 5 years back pay.
