response:

Of course not...that would have been to easy! actually I did not think of that after the answer to my question came up...but I will go ahead now and send a question...

but after reading your question on VSO...it looks like it will be a dead end for me to even ask the status of my claim if due to policy at the VA that they can't devugle that information to me...that I will need to go to the VSO office in town and tape a note on the door that if there is ever a replacement for this office to contact me...Frustrating as it may be...I am sure things will be as they should.

Your post (question) about the VSO deciding on what priority each claim had at the AMVET is interesting and I am going to watch that question with interest..

have a great day Rocky and again I will go ask a question...

take care

I have found this lacking. Sometimes the response is yup. Sometimes like one of those fortune teller machines..you know...That could very well be or it doesn't seem so.

Try to be factual and brief with you question.

Just another thought, what if you were to contact that VSO's department...

in example, if the VSO is Al go to WEB: http://www.missourilegion.org

and ask about who is handling the existing case load and exactly when

you can expect to have actual representation.... the same holds true if it's

a different organization such as VFW, DAV, VVA.

Might be worth a try to rattle someone's cage and see what shakes out. jmho

I will do that as well...perhaps they can give me a time line on when there will be a replacement...after the 4th SO left the area I decided enough is enough..so I called AMVETS to see if someone in that office could assist me...but I was told by the the VEt rep. there that since the MO.Vet.Comm already has my POA and it is now being appealed that they could not assist me...but that is water under the bridge..I essence I did my claim alone from start to finish...when it comes right down to it...I didn't trust anyone to help me...even the paper work I handed in the office here in town..I would always mail the same packet out I gave them because I was afraid it would get lost on there desk..and never make it to my c-file...and I wanted proof I sent it...so If I win my appeal then I know it was because I kept on going..if I get denied then I will pick myself up and I know that I can get help here...

thank you for the info...
