ptsd Service Officer Called...wow!

[Cavman]

I sent many emails over the past few months and have never got an email, call or anything back. Today the SO evidently received my letter terminating his POA and representation and guess what........My wife informed me when I got home from my PTSD treatment that my SO called and said he is doing all he can on my appeal and it is urgent I call him back. Wow, I wonder what he wants?! I`ll never know.

It probably looks bad on his record to have a termination.

I second that opinion......it will look bad and he will answer to someone....whether the truth is told you will never know.

With your evidence you probably don't need the POA. I had the DAV but I did all the work while they tried to discourage me from appealing. They were worse than useless. When I was denied TDIU after I got 70% the DAV wanted me to drop the appeal. The POA was just a lazy worthless SOB.

I thought at first the DAV was a good outfit, in 1996, they helped me go from 10% to 50%, then in 1998, I told them I wanted to try and get my PTSD, raised, as I felt it was getting worst, but they flatly refuse to try, as they told me i wouldn't have a chance in hell of getting it raised past 50%, so I told them to go to hell, and walked down the hall to the VVA office, they filed for me, took 56 months to go through the system, but got my 70% with TDIU. MORAL OF STORY, THERE ARE GOOD SO and bad one's, trouble is there are more bad then good ones.

Personally I wouldn't use any SO. I've found "from personal experience" those that have offices at the VA are the worst whores. They try to get vets not to pursue claims or increases. I used the DAV and they cost me at least five additional years, until I took over my claim myself. jmo

I filed a claim some years back for a neck injury and the SO from the DAV wrote it up as a concussion. The VA kept to the concussion and denied the claim originally. I later received SC for the neck but I lost money.

The moral is dont ever trust anyone to handle a claim that you can do yourself.
