What is your personal experience with DAV?
Is it providing all of these services adequately across the country?
DAV Services:
DAV assists over a million veterans annually through their services, including helping them navigate the complex VA claims process to access earned benefits.
DAV actively lobbies on behalf of veterans in Congress to improve legislation related to benefits and healthcare access.
They provide local support networks and transportation services to help veterans access VA medical appointments.
DAV is recognized for its strong commitment to veterans and has a high rating from charity evaluators.
Thank you,

My organization recently did an event with the Glendale Post 20 DAV in AZ. They've already helped 2 Veterans in my program avoid an eviction. I'm not a fan of the other Posts, but POST 20...brilliant :)

I’m going to keep this short but sweet. I had 30% January 2013. By August 2016 I was 100% and as of December 2020 I am 100% P&T. They are the best VSO in regards to disability. It’s in the name. Plus the founder was. WW1 vet and he made it to help out his fellow disable veteran. Get with them for disability benefits. They’re basically MAFIA lawyers for disabled veterans and they have connections at the VA. Blessings to us all in our disability journey.

They helped get me 100%. I hate the website, though. You can't pay your dues there, even though it says you can, and you have to search for the member login.

DAV supported me as a VSO with the VA. After joining, found it to be like NRA (constantly asking for money).
They do good work for our veterans, I just don't have the funding for constant requests.

Not to good called ask for help was told we don’t do trivial things then I told the lady i am having a problem getting into the dentist at the VA told the lady I’m 100% combat veteran she then hung up on me. I’ll never ask the DAV for help again.

I support the DAV and am a lifetime member however I never get a magazine from them tried to ask for help that didn’t go anywhere but I sure there are a lot of people that need help more than me, so I just stopped asking and go it alone, it does seem to work.

Proud life member of DAV, DAV helped me probably more than I will ever know. If you want a solid organization to belong to DAV is my choice and might be right for you as well. Check it out, you never know.
