HadIt.com Elder LarryJ Posted February 15, 2010 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted February 15, 2010 I have a simple question and would really appreciate some other veterans thoughts on this matter. Does the DAV work for the Veterans or the VA? I am sure that you can, by the way that your post is worded, get some people to unload on the DAV. But, that's not the purpose of the hadit board. If, on the other hand, you are really serious, then I'd have to say that the DAV is one of our country's oldest Veterans Service Organizations, and, as such, has been a good advocate for the veterans.

HadIt.com Elder Pete53 Posted February 15, 2010 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted February 15, 2010 I think that the VA uses the DAV to maintain the fiction it has that it is here to help Veterans. Many VSO's are good and can help a Veteran file a claim but after that the Veteran unfortunately is on their own to win the claim. There are not enough VSO's to handle the claims the VA has open in my opinion. Its really up to the Veteran to interview and select a VSO that they can have confidence in cause the DAV is not responsible for a single claim and that is the rub.

I am a Certified DAV Service Officer and whoever told you not to put in for unemployability was lazy and did not want to give you one form to fill out for Unemployability. I am bitter towards some NS
