how to dismiss a vs officer or office

[worriedshrimp]

greetings,

i found this on the internet:

i understand it is possible to Remove, or Change, Representation? You may discharge your attorney, claims agent, or VSO representative at any time and for any reason by informing VA of your request in writing.

i'm interested in removing my records from my local vso office and dismissing their representation of me forthwith. i would rather be represented by any other reputable vso office in my state. i have not yet found where and how to inform the va  and hence the problematic vso of my intention. so am asking here if there is a necessary protocol that is followed; a form letter etc that i would be obliged to submit to my local vso to accomplish this act. links to any such knowledge would be welcomed.

thanks for this worthwhile forum.

Welcome to hadit.  The simplest way is to seek a new VSO or other representative (such as an attorney), and give them the POA.  

Of course you can ask (the new VSO), if that is the way he wants to do it.  

My advice is "not to insult" your last VSO.  Simply tell the new VSO you like him better, that you are "going a different direction".  

Years ago, when I dated after my divorce, I did not like a woman who insulted past spouses.  

"Yea, I was married to 5 different men, and all were loosers."  

Hmmm...what is the common denominator?  She was.  Not the 5 men.

Fill out a 21-22, send it in. We revoke the current POA when we get the new form.

I thank you veterans for all the replies.

they are very helpful.... i've been absent and really appreciate your input.

i concur about not insulting my current and only vso... i emailed the manager?/administrator and asked for a copy of my rating code sheet. if i encounter any further trouble from this vso i've contacted another larger vso upstate and will attempt to do business with them. i have an upcoming stress test with the valleys best cardiology team. afterwards if the results warrant i shall be attempting to seek a c&p exam for possible benefits. so these early forays into the workings both good and bad of our va system is important - specifically veteran service officers. i would like to add that i find the va health and vba services to be exemplary and have never hesitated to give them high marks in their surveys.
