Rate this question

Question

I am contemplating filing a claim for increase,and when i filed for increase before i had a lady from state who is with american legion who really seems like a dedicated person.

She is suggesting i have american legion rep me in case of an appeal i would be represented nationally.

I cant say enough good things about this lady,she always answers my emails and seems to know what she is doing.

I am thinking of taking her up on her offer to let the legion represent me. The main thing, i would like for her to be the one representing me.

if she agrees to handle it fine but what if she leaves in the middle of it, I have had a couple of service organizations makes personnel changes while they were "representing me" your POA is to the service organization not a specific rep and if she is one of many in the office, they may have it by alphabet or SSAN on who handles which claim

you need to have a good idea on if she is going to be the one to handle your claim and that her leaving does not appear to be in the cards during the next couple of years if it has to go to the BVA and ask upfront if you have a BVA hearing on the issue will she be the one to handle it otherwise if you sign the POA you may get caught up in their system
