SrA Jay Strauser I'm gonna go with: YEP! Now, just as SSgt (Join to see) stated, there are Veterans Service Organizations out there that are nothing more than dark, smokey old bars. There are lots of those - and unless that's what you're looking for..........I'd avoid those. However, if you're looking for an active Veterans Service Organization allow me to offer my help in finding one for you.
I won't ask any personal questions and I don't want you to provide any personal data here in this public forum - but you can message me her on RP and I'll do what I can.

I have been using the Texas Vet. commission for the last 4 years with little to show other than the work I did myself. My rep. Is useless. Who would you suggest. I'm on the verge of hiring an attorney.

SPC Jack Hunt, JR Let me be honest with you - I can't speak to the actual limitations of the Texas Vet Commission. What I do suspect is the Tx Vet Commission is basically the same as most other state paid / county paid staffed service officers and they cannot look at your case in the same way the Veteran Service Organizations Service Officers can - once you've given that VSO the authority to look at your file via the VA form 21-22 they can then actually pull up your file that is currently listed in the VA system. Key point to remember - if you filed a claim in Texas, then any VSO in the Texas region can look at your VA file IF you've given them permission. However, if you've filed in Texas and you sign a 21-22 for Florida...no one from Florida can look at your file until the claim in Texas is complete.
Food for thought....any specific questions give me a shout.

Thanks for the info. As far as finding a dr to do nexus letters should I just start calling their offices and asking if they even know what it is?

This is not precise - and not an official endorsement, but they give a fairly good example here: http://www.veteranscorner.org/thenexusletter.htm that should explain what is necessary in the nexus letter. For specifics I suggest you contact a Veterans Service Organization (VFW, DAV, American Legion, etc) in your area to talk to one of their Service Officers. If you can't find a Service Officer from a Veteran Service Organization - shout.
Veterans Corner is a non profit organization 501(c)3 located in Goldsby, OK that assists veterans, their widows, or families who are in need. Dale Graham is a Veterans Service Officer for VFW Post 4890.

On a local level, these organizations are whatever the local membership makes them... good or bad. On a National level, they are OUR voice in Washington D.C. and their combined efforts at that level are truly priceless for our active duty, veterans, and families.

In mu opinion, yes I do believe most of the time they do help and have good intentions.

i have found that the American Legion, AMVETS and also the DAV have people that are always there to assist Vets in Massachusetts. They aren't with a specific Post but actually assigned to offices specifically to assist Veterans. Also Massachusetts, every city and town in the State has a Veteran's Service Officer to assist Veteran's in their community.
