Would Like To Become A Part-time So

[Bound4heaven]

Greetings to all,

After finally winnng all my claims I sure would like to help out other disabled veterans. I am led to become Service Officer (part -time only) I could only do it out of my home. I am a member of several service orignizations and have not found a so that was worth his weight. I joined NVO and have left many messages on their answering machine and sent many e-mails to them with my intentions and I have heard nothing over the apst 2 months from them. I donlt know if they are still an service organinzation or not.

Does anuyone know of a Service Organization that would meet my requirements? Thank you and God bless you.

If any of your reasons you get VA benefits include PTSD many of the Service Oragnizations won't sponser you.Best bet is to talk to some SO's and see what they have to say. We used to have a few here till they were run off.

I was a service officer for the local American Legion post for about a year. It was very much a disappointment. The only people I helped were widows who were trying to get a few bucks to bury their husbands. Mostly the members just drank and smoked and argued about money at the meetings. I made a motion for them to buy me a VBM and they just put it and me on the shelf.

Dear John999

Thanks for your response. It sounds like you had a bad time. I am only trying to help some veterans at my local clinc I was just assigned to after I asked to leave a VMAC hospital. They are looking for someone to help them,and since I have allot of expirence with the VARO mostly bad I feel I could benefit them. I do not want to become a SO with a major service organization. I have not met a single SO that did their job.

I will wait and see. Thank you and God bless you.

Bound,

I feel the same as you do. But to make things a bit easier what I do is to just ask Vet's if they have applied for their benefits. If not I point them in the right direction, at times initiating the calls and getting forms. I have also prepared a short check list and some reference materials for them. This site is right on top:) I have led 4 individuals to our local (Great) county VSO's and things have worked well. While I am not a SO I can lead a person to a point. I have also educated those with benefits now how they CAN reapply for an increase as warranted.

This is what I do. Best O Luck on your journey
