0 HadIt.com Elder GBArmy Posted May 4, 2021 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted May 4, 2021 Talk to the Post Commander and see if there might be more than one VSO at the Post. If not, you could contact the District Commander and see if he could swich for you. Or, you could just hunt around and find a new VSO that you see eye to eye on from any Service or County organization. Then switch on Va.gov.

0 Moderator broncovet Posted May 4, 2021 Moderator Share Posted May 4, 2021 The simplest way to change a POA, is to give that POA to someone else. Simplest would be to switch to a VSO who is "not" with American Legion, but instead use DAV or one of the others. Make sure you get one that has VBMS access. Ask that before signing. VBMS is also called "efile". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 HadIt.com Elder Buck52 Posted May 4, 2021 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted May 4, 2021 It's not that eazy changing your POA, ONCE YOU AGREE WITH SOMEONE TO BE YOUR POA IT'S HARD TO GET IT REVOLKED The POA will stay with you until you hire a good experinced VA attorney or VA Accredith Claims Agent Once you make an agreement with the Attorney or claims Agent they will send your original POA a letter letting them know you hied him/her and (he YOUR ORIGINAL POA) will no longer be your POA If you don't do this your origianl POA will always be your POA....POA's are hard to be revoked once you appointment one.

0 HadIt.com Elder Buck52 Posted May 4, 2021 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted May 4, 2021 If you go with the DAV make sure he/she is certified nationally. be warey of the ones that are in the VAMC. Some are ok but some ain;t worth a Sh** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Moderator brokensoldier244th Posted May 4, 2021 Moderator Share Posted May 4, 2021 (edited) All you have to do is send a VA 21-22 to us with your new vso. That's it. As soon as we get it we revoke the poa on file for you. Edited May 4, 2021 by brokensoldier244th Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Carl the Engineer Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 I have never heard from my POA ever, text, phone, email or letter, since I started my claims in 2008. But, my CVSO says he is the best. So, I got that going for me, Hamslice Actually, I did email him a couple years ago asking if they (the VFW) had a list of doctors in my area that did IMO/EMO's. He told me they did not. So, right there, I knew I was doing better than they were. Can't imagine where I would be if I had not done what I did on my own. Most likely sitting at 30, my rating after my original claim.

I found VSO's good for answering some questions, getting a hold of some C&P's exams, filing an NOD, etc. Your best advocate is you, and learning on this forum. After two years of my own leg

Aggravating-Coyote, do you care to explain the reason for separating from the VSO? This process is hard, confusing, and fustrating especially when you first start. The VSO is a guide but you
