Claim Representation - Disabled American Veterans, Department of New York

Disabled American Veterans Department of New York, 200 Atlantic Avenue, Lynbrook, New York 11563

MOBILE SERVICE OFFICE PROGRAM

The work of NSOs extends well beyond their offices and extends deep within the veteran community.

Part of their outreach activities involves DAV's Mobile Service Office (MSO) Program. This program is designed to educate disabled families on specific veteran's benefits and services.

These well equipped "offices on wheels" will eliminate long trips some veterans must take to visit our National Service Offices. This means providing better service to more veterans and their families. NSO's, often aided by Department and Chapter Service Officers who are staffing the MSO's, will stop in communities across the country and assist veterans in completing applications for benefits from the VA and other government agencies.

Go to the DAV's web site at http://www.dav.org/membership/documents/mobile_service_calendar.pdf to view the PDF filew which lists the MSO stops in our area.

Claim Representation

DAV NSOs assist veterans and their families in filing claims for VA disability compensation, rehabilitation and education programs, pensions, death benefits, employment and training programs, and many other programs.

Our NSOs are highly trained professionals. Moreover, they are skilled experts in developing and prosecuting veterans' claims through in-depth reviews of medical histories in conjunction with sound application of current law and regulations.

In representing veterans and their families, NSOs assist in the thorough preparation of claims and written briefs, which includes helping to assemble evidence in support of those claims. They also review rating board decisions and inform veterans and their families of the appeals process and their appellate rights.
