MOPH closing confirmed

[broncovet]

If you are a Veteran, represented by MOPH, you need to know that MOPH is closing down its offices.  This can have a drastic effect on your claim, and it wont be good for you.  You likely need to get a new representative.  

This station confirms MOPH is closing its doors:

I had mixed results with them, the office knew more than most, but didn't know as much as they thought they did- and that's the dangerous part.

Veterans who are represented by MOPH will need to select another representative by/before June 30.  

I dont recommend waiting that long, unless you like being in Limbo.

I wonder if the knowledge from their site (like the training slides) will be transferred elsewhere. Many of them were really great resources.

I became a life member of MOPH many decades ago but never used them for anything as they never reached out to me for anything and I successfully represented myself in claims and appeals since 1998 due to poor representation in 1985 to 91 from another well known VSO organization.  Until recent years I never knew MOPH even had offices inside VAROs and assisted vets with claims and if I had known this I might have used them.

Just in case anyone needs to reference the knowledge from their web site after it is decommisioned, try this link:

I started passing out Hadit cards to the Vets at my VAMC...You can print out these cards from the Hadit web site and cut them to fit in your Billfold/Wallet and pass them out at your VAMC.
