Poa

How do you change your POA from one organization to another? How long does it usually take for the change to go into effect?

thanks,

You have to formally rescind your POA in writing in a signed statement that you no longer want the ___ to represent you- and send a copy to the VARO at the same time you send this to your vet rep.

It takes time to get on the VA computers -maybe a few days- and then you can acquire a different POA.

Almost forgot- do this by formal signed letter- emails or FAxes are not acceptable as your signature is required to rescind a POA.

You can do a formal letter, but the VA form 21-22 is the preferred document by the VA paper pushers.

He wants to Rescind-

The 21-22 is used by an accredited service office or vet rep or Organization

the 21-22 (a) is used when a vet appoints another individual to represent them- not a vet rep, or org-

He can't used the 21-22 to rescind

Thanks guys for your response.

One more question....can you request a copy of (I think it's called the blue sheet) from your SO?

My husband got an increase for sc condition in May and 0% (1151 claim) for his toe in August, and has heard nothing from his SO. Shouldn't he at least acknowledge whether the increase is ageeable or the o% is acceptable? My husband e-mailed the guy a while back but has not heard anything from him. Of course, we do realize he is busy helping others as well, but at I'll get back to you or something...

Absolutely-any vet rep or SO shoud be able to provide copy of the Blue Rating sheet.

What is a "Blue Sheet"? This is the first time I've heard of such a thing. Should it come with your rating decision?
