What's a Power of Attorney Good for with Veteran Claims?

Veterans Administration Form 21-22

This is the official form that allows a Veteran Service Organization or VSO to represent you and the claim you are filing to the Veterans Administration.  see form here 21 -22

Don't Face the VA Alone

Organizations like The American Legion, Disabled American Veterans, and the Veterans of Foreign Wars have Veteran Service Officers trained and certified by the Veterans Administration to assist you in submitting the claim, reviewing the claim, and following the claim through the process.

The veteran is encouraged to sign up for e-benefits at the VA to track the benefits they are applying for, but the portal may not have all the details with the claim.  A VSO representative can explain and look into any questions the Veteran has about their specific claim.

Using a VSO ensures accuracy when submitting a Fully Developed Claim.  Claims made through the FDC process are awarded quicker and more efficiently.

To learn more about the VSO and POA please watch the following videos produced by the VA.
