Do you happen to know where I would need to go exactly to get to a vso?

I'll add another vote for the Texas Veterans Commission. Take a look at their Texas directory: http://www.tvc.texas.gov/documents/tvc_directory.pdf

Right in Irving, it shows:

Margaret Young

2520 W Irving Blvd Ste 100
Bank of America Bldg.

A little late to post but I just went through the process. I seperated from the Army in June 2014 (medical discharge) with a 10% rating from the Army and an 80% from the VA.
Two years later, I went through the process of getting my rating re-assessed through the DAV. I started this process in July of 2016 and received my upgraded rating in November.
I highly recommend the DAV. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

All my paperwork went through the TVC. The DAV is the same thing. TVC is if you enlisted in Texas.

Texas employees that have access to government claims process.

DAV or TVC will work. It's not an easy battle by no means. Stick to it, is the only advise I can offer.

 

[grasshopperglock]

They've had to go to private contractors for the claim load.

One contractor is VES. Veteran Evaluation Services. They did my final claim. Doctors that are veterans themselves. The service is night and day compared to the VA.

Oh yeah. If you go through them. Don't fib. Don't hide the ailments. Even the details you don't want to discuss.

I went through three doctors. All specializing in the their field of expertise.

Speak you mind. Tell them the issues, you don't want to discuss. After its done, you won't have to discuss them anymore. It's on record. No reason to keep bringing them up.

You'll be talking to seasoned vets. Dr Vets, but vets all the same.

Las colinas. I'm moving to Keller next week. Still trying to get in contact with someone to file a claim

Get your claim filed as soon as possible because when approved it is retroactive to the claim date.

I see this is somewhat of an old thread, while I am not a VSO I did work for the VA as an administrator and have also been through the VA claims process myself. Let me know if I can help anyone.
