Did anyone file an appeal to their VA disability? My VSO is swamped with multiple requests and not enough time (I heard they’re basically furloughed, only working one day a week). I basically want to provide additional evidence from the VA hospital and outside providers.

I haven't done an appeal, but I know lots of buddies that used a lawyer to help them out because the VSO were so backed up.

I used the VFW and was really happy with them.

Jeez! I’m at 80% and trying to get 100% so the back pay would be ridiculous. I’ll look into VFW - thanks

VFW, DAV, ECT.. they will all help you out quite a bit. The DAV helped me with my initial one.

Thanks!

Following b/c I was rated at 40% but have had several people including my social worker tell me it should be closer to 80.
