Yes. Take John and I's advice and file for it. Those "benefit counselors" are often wrong. Sometimes, I think they say things just to try to get Vets to abandon their claim, and often it works. Remember where those VSO's owe their loyalty too..and it isnt Veterans. We do not sign their paychecks.

In part, the VA "sign's their paychecks" by doing things like providing "free rent" in VAMC's and VARO's. You have probably heard the phrase, "There is no such thing as free rent?" Well, this is how the VA "collects" their rent from VSO's. They get VSO's to tell Vets: ABANDON YOUR CLAIM..its the right thing to do. You know...help other Vets by "dropping" your claim to reduce the backlog. BS. Dont fall for it.

the last dav counselor i spoke with was bound and determined to tell me i should lose my unemployability without even looking at my record.

i haven't had a good one in years. they certainly don't grow on trees.
