Question
Buck52
I went to the DAV office yesterday Ask to File a PTSD Claim...all he did wa shave me to sign a POA or some form me allowing them to be my repersentive.
He put my name and social on the form 21-526ez and stated I am fileing for PTSD Compensation had me to sign it that was all
dated and he said he will mail it to my RO...I ask him if that was the correct place to send it and are we sending it in with out any information as to who diagnosed me or any medical evidence to support my claim...I said I was told I need to send the PTSD Claim to The Janesville Wi VA Claim intake Center..he said by send it to the RO it gets seen faster I mention the claim centers digitized them on CD & sends them back to the RO he said so does the RO.. He also said it will take about a year for them to order all your records and after they get them in usually 12 months Then The VA will send me the thing I need to support my claim.
I wanted to submit my claim with some evidence With VA Progress Notes from myhealthvet from MH but oh well?
What concerned me was he never put any thing down about my Diagnoses of PTSD down?
Anyway he sent it in to my RO here in Texas Waco Tx
...my question is
should I fire this DAV Service Officer with over 40 years experience in VA Claims? This was done on 10 -15-15
Anybody???

You either have PTSD or not. The VA PTSD examiner will complete a forensic PTSD DBQ and that will determine the Rater's decision. You don't need to spend money on non VA PTSD Clinician Nexus letters.

send your info direct, either with receipt required or upload on e-benefits. No requirement to have DAV or any other with POA process for you.
