Not necessarily.. there are other avenues to become a VSO... yes the ones that people are aware of are the VFW, DAV, American Legion, Wounded Warriors or etc... but you can be a VSO through your state... i know someone that became a VSO through the state... so it was basically working for the State but he was a VSO...i have to find son's math and ask him the pathway he used to become that
you're right but was looking to be certified but independent, which doesnt seem to be an option

I’m new to the process, lol I don’t know what bds means. I’m working on getting compensated for ptsd When I check my claim status it says it’s on step 5 of 8: rating.

Benefits delivery at discharge. If you're still in and filing for disability

All VA-accredited representatives are authorized to provide help with VA benefit claims to Veterans and service members, as well as their dependents and survivors. Keep in mind that there are 3 types of accredited representatives (VSO, Claims Agent, & Credited Attorney)

If someone isn’t recognized by VA, they can’t legally help you with a VA benefit claim.

Keep in mind that in order to be an accredited VSO you must work for a minimum of 20 hours a week for one of the Veteran Service Organizations, pass the proficiency test approved by the VA Office of General Counsel, and be sponsored by the organization that employs you. You can't just be an accredited VSO on your own. That would be an Agent.

An exception to the above are the County Service Officers who work for their respective county governments. In most cases they are sponsored by their state's veterans affairs office for accreditation since county governments are not veterans service organizations; but whatever service organization does sponsor them must certify to the General Counsel that they work a minimum of 20 hours a week assisting veterans. ... <--- this is what my people is...he was sponsored by the State...so he works for the state... im sure whatever state you're in can sponsor you...but you going be working for them..

  • Depression (New)
  • somatic symptom disorder (SSD) (New)
  • bipolar disorder (New)
I've one had a C&P for MDD(major depressive disorder). however the guy I saw had me fill out everything any disorder would. there was several multiple choice test i had to fill out that were scored, as well as some essay questions. then the doc had follow up questions based on those.

are/have you done a personal statement? I did. it helped me cover everything I knew needed to be covered by the DBQ. I figured that way if I forget to mention something in the C&P it would still be covered.

There's no extra money.

I feel you I just don’t trust Trump taking over as a born and bred Brooklyn kid can’t trust him gotta see how things shake out

I get paranoid about having my name on too many things people might look into

It’s a me issue with being paranoid

Same here, I brought that up to the doctor and she said to sign up regardless. Hope this isn’t an Agent Orange type thing

Put your name on there, you never know. Not too sound grim or anything like that. Sounds like you were exposed a lot more than myself

Same. Crown Heights kid with a pixel phone and using Brave not Google

But joining the military is one of the least private things you can do 100 years in the future people can pull your military records through FOIA.

So getting on the registry is kinda part for the course but if they discover people getting sick and there's a class action payout you want to be able to get it
