I am one of those in this group. I have spent the last three (3) years waiting on my appeal from the VA and have found it to be concerning. I wrote a paper which is a published paper now on my life when I became homeless and at the time, I was unaware that I could have reached out to the VA and would have received support. I wonder how many Vets out there known that this is available? My paper talks about going from a good life to becoming homeless and then to rebound back to a life that has truly been rewarding for myself. I credit my "wake-up" to God and to those few who believed in me and helped me through a challenging time. Since that time, I have lost some of my use of my legs and back due to my injuries and still I push on. The only reason that I am concerned with the VA is that if something happens to me, my wife will be able to receive continued benefits after I leave this world. I am working through my local VA office but am interested in the DAV, American Legion or VFW can help push my case faster?

They straightened everything out for me but remember; likeable people recieve more help than those who demand. <br />There is a difference results when the caseworker "likes" you. That may sound unfair but that is human nature, some will say it is their job and thats BS...it is what it is: fight it or embrace it. <br />Steady on SGT Steven Eugene Kuhn MBA Tue, 13 Jan 2015 12:16:14 -0500 2015-01-13T12:16:14-05:00 https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/what-is-the-best-organization-to-help-with-va-disability-claims?n=521655&urlhash=521655 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Great guidance on VAWatchdog.org <br /><br />As for DAV, it's like most other things in life, you will find some very good and some not so good. The DAV rep in Reading, PA was tremendous. The DAV rep I have experienced with in another state, not so good and maybe because they were inundated. VAWatchdog.org helped me get through the process.

Widows can receive benefits but the burden is on you to make sure all the pertinent information is documented. 1st Lt Mary James Thu, 11 Jul 2024 09:50:40 -0400 2024-07-11T09:50:40-04:00 2015-01-13T12:03:57-05:00
