If a Veteran uses the DAV they better work their claims them-self research it get on hadit. and ask questions.

    I don't know of a better place to start and learn how to win your claim than with hadit members.

..The DAV is just swinging on the long time name from war war 1.& II

They may scribble your name on the claim application and as for as evidence  they simply write  ''see records''  they may have been ok back in War War 1  & II but since then in my opinion they just want the 19.dollars a month donations  to keep the name ''Disable American Veterans''

Note:

If your a first time claimant ,request all your military records service and medical  and request your C-file  Do this before you file, you may want or need to file more than one claim  and remember there's no limits on how many claims a veteran can file.

Main thing is when you file make sure they can't deny you   you do that with medical evidence and in service records...WITH QUALIFIED Dr's to give you their opinion  if needed. (specialist is recommended if you have a condition or decease  to give his/her opinion for in service related 

Remember the 3 main things you need to file the'' Caluza Triangle''

1 Medical Diagnose   (no diagnose no service connection

2.In service event or injury (with locations and correct dates)

3. Medical opinion to connect one and 2. (this is a Nexus)
