Service Organizations

I recommend getting a service officer to assist you with your claim. Service Organizations can

• Help file initial claims
  
• Provide one-on-one assistance,
  
• Decipher VA correspondence;
  
• Help complete subsequent claims documentation,
  
• Determine the types of evidence that will supports claims,
  
• Help locate needed evidence,
  
• Obtain copies of needed records,
  
• Provide representation before VA hearings officers and/or boards,
  
• Provide representation before the Board of Veterans Appeals for denied claims and
  
• Provide assistance with discharge upgrades for other than honorable discharges from the U.S. Armed Forces.
