Theyre dope

There are other companies you can use to help you with the process but you will have to pay them. DAV is free
I’m at the DAV now. I have to fill out paperwork first before filing with them.

I was at the VA hospital earlier. The VSO at that location didn’t seem to know his shyt. I’m trying to file a disability claim.

I got diagnosed with PTSD, depression, degenerative back, and sleep apnea. I need to figure out how to add insomnia.

Any brothers have advice for me? I’ll be combing through this thread and Reddit tonight.

@General Mills you got me?

It’s the VSO’s job to link these things. It’s your job to advocate for treatment. Talk to your doctor take the meds and Talk to your VSO.

You could make the claim yourself but if you’re using a VSO use them.

Do the DAV paperwork. Imo, best thing I could’ve done was go through them

The dude I had knew his shyt. Like seriously, no fluff and no BS.

But I did have a DAV before that who was poor service.. but that was only towards me and he didn’t seem to understand my situations for communicating with him in his time frames wasn’t going to work.

Outside of that, he was squared away

I’ve used paid services before to get the lower ratings..

Theyre solid too, but they will keep hounding you for the same shyt you sent them.

Also be warned, some want a percentage paid to them after your awards as well. Some people don’t care and I didn’t at one point, but eventually they became too annoying, sending automated messages requesting shyt I already gave them weeks ago, etc.

Too much of a hassle imo and you still paying for the service after the award is given.

Like for example, the paid service I used before, I stopped using years ago. Like the last correspondence was 2 years ago.. last time I contacted them with information because they kept spamming me for the same shyt by different people.


I went through DAV, got it bumped, got the backpay (not all of course :beli: ) but then I get an email for a bill of like 8k from the paid service.

I said fukk that and hit them up immediately. I even had my DAV write up a statement for it. They said they cleared it up but I’m still not %100 sure it won’t happen again

From research on reddit insominia most likely will get combined with the ptsd/depression rating since its mental health related. Great resource, gave me the confidence to file my own claim, no VSO. Best wishes on your search

Thats another way to go


One thing I want to say about DAV is that they pretty much did everything. They looked at my records, saw EVERYTHING that I could increase even with shyt still pending from like 2-3 years ago (I think. I know I’m somehow still awaiting a decision on some things) and he just set all the appointments up. The VA called to schedule best times/dates and I just showed up.

Simplest process I’ve ever been through and MY turnaround was quick… like 4 months quick.
