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,

I’m really impressed with the work DAV does for veterans. They’re dedicated and fight hard for better benefits. Their information is extensive—they’re a great source for vets who need support.

I have not had any personal experience with DAV even though there are a few chapters close to my location. I never really considered them as I'm not designated as "disabled". Maybe that was short sighted on my part. I should look into them more as there may be benefits/assistance they can provide I'm not currently receiving.
Thanks for all you do COL Mikel J. Burroughs in trying to get information out so Veterans can be as informed as possible.

I would recommend them in a heart beat, they were extremely helpful with my claim for Kidney cancer.
Naval air crash crew, exposed to PFOA, PFOS, the cause of many different types of cancer.
My local Seattle DAV, helped with paperwork proofing claim forms, offering new approaches when the rejection letters arrived. They were very responsive to phone calls and emails.
With the help and encouragement, the loss of both kidneys, we did finally receive my 100% rating.
I joined as a member, in my opinion they deserve all the support possible.

Other than their yearly (bi-yearly?) donation drive letters, I don't have much to do with them.
I have donated a time or two over the years as funds were available, but that's all.
