yulooking, I'm not suggesting that you don't use aVSO, I'm just saying that it did'nt work out for me. I don't really know where you can report their misconduct or even if you did would it do anygood other than making you feel better. But.....making ones self feel better is what this is all about. I hope the best for you and wish I could be of more help. Maybe get in touch with the BBB better Bussiness Buereau. LOL

I think that if you have the time and energy you can learn to be your own VSO on Hadit. Even when you are your own VSO you would be a fool not to have a paper VSO at least cause they have access and you don't.

I use the Texas Veterans Commission as my Agent in Waco.

If you look at the bottom of the 21-22 you will see the following statement:

"I, the claimant named in Items 1 or 7, hereby appoint the service organization named in Item 3 as my representative to prepare, present

and prosecute my claim for any and all benefits from the Department of Veterans Affairs based on the service of the

veteran named in Item 1. I authorize the Department of Veterans Affairs to release any and all of my records (other than as provided

in Items 13 and 14) to that service organization appointed as my representative. It is understood that no fee or compensation of

whatsoever nature will be charged me for service rendered pursuant to this power of attorney. I understand that the service

organization I have appointed as my representative may revoke this power of attorney at any time, subject to

38 C.F.R. 20.608. Signed and accepted subject to the foregoing conditions."

According to 38 CFR Part 20 Rule 20 Here is the regulation on that..........

Title 38: Pensions, Bonuses, and Veterans' Relief

PART 20—BOARD OF VETERANS' APPEALS: RULES OF PRACTICE

Subpart G—Representation

Browse Previous | Browse Next

§ 20.608 Rule 608. Withdrawal of services by a representative.

(a) Withdrawal of services prior to certification of an appeal. A representative may withdraw services as representative in an appeal at any time prior to certification of the appeal to the Board of Veterans' Appeals by the agency of original jurisdiction by complying with the requirements of §14.631 of this chapter.

(;) Withdrawal of services after certification of an appeal —(1) Applicability. The restrictions on a representative's right to withdraw contained in this paragraph apply only to those cases in which the representative has previously agreed to act as representative in an appeal. In addition to express agreement, orally or in writing, such agreement shall be presumed if the representative makes an appearance in the case by acting on an appellant's behalf before the Board in any way after the appellant has designated the representative as such as provided in §§20.602 through 20.605 of this part. The preceding sentence notwithstanding, an appearance in an appeal solely to notify the Board that a designation of representation has not been accepted will not be presumed to constitute such consent.

(2) Procedures. After the agency of original jurisdiction has certified an appeal to the Board of Veterans' Appeals, a representative may not withdraw services as representative in the appeal unless good cause is shown on motion. Good cause for such purposes is the extended illness or incapacitation of an agent admitted to practice before the Department of Veterans Affairs, an attorney-at-law, or other individual representative; failure of the appellant to cooperate with proper preparation and presentation of the appeal; or other factors which make the continuation of representation impossible, impractical, or unethical. Such motions must be in writing and must include the name of the veteran, the name of the claimant or appellant if other than the veteran (e.g., a veteran's survivor, a guardian, or a fiduciary appointed to receive VA benefits on an individual's behalf), the applicable Department of Veterans Affairs file number, and the reason why withdrawal should be permitted, and a signed statement certifying that a copy of the motion was sent by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to the appellant, setting forth the address to which the copy was mailed. Such motions should not contain information which would violate privileged communications or which would otherwise be unethical to reveal. Such motions must be filed at the following address: Office of the Senior Deputy Vice Chairman (012), Board of Veterans' Appeals, 810 Vermont Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20420. The appellant may file a response to the motion with the Board at the same address not later than 30 days following receipt of the copy of the motion and must include a signed statement certifying that a copy of the response was sent by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to the representative, setting forth the address to which the copy was mailed.

(Authority: 38 U.S.C. 5901–5904, 7105(a))

(Approved by the Office of Management and Budget under control number 2900–0085)

Short version:

VSO's can revoke for Good Cause....which is here

"Good cause for such purposes is the extended illness or incapacitation of an agent admitted to practice before the Department of Veterans Affairs, an attorney-at-law, or other individual representative; failure of the appellant to cooperate with proper preparation and presentation of the appeal; or other factors which make the continuation of representation impossible, impractical, or unethical."

Any Service Organization can revoke a POA for things that fall within these realms. Also a POA will be revoked when you change from one service organization representative to another.......and the VA does that and that has nothing to do with your previous Service Organization...the VA only enters one service organization at a time.....

Does this help????
