    Very unprofessional and hung up on me and didn't even say goodbye. I was trying to inform Mary…read morePatterson doesn't know the recent federal law finding that the VA is in charge of DOD retirement and they must address all medical board separation issues. The DOD component is not in charge of service members once they separate. She kept on referring to VA disability. The DOD rating system is what I was appealing and the BCNR told me that the VA is the governing authority. She could not even give me a point of contact to who was going to follow up call me. Honestly, I'm planning on switching VSO because this person doesn't have the ability to listen and fact check.

    I have been donating weekly for many years to this organization. In the last 6 months, the truck…read moredrivers have been too lazy to take my donation? Today I donated gently used patio umbrellas as I had donated 6 of these a year ago without hesitation. The two guys on the truck decided to not take these umbrellas today claiming these are not on their list of acceptable items? In the last year I donated 4 TVs and 5 yellow patio umbrellas and they swiftly picked all up. I guess the truck drivers decide what they pick up by what they want to keep for themselves!!!! Pathetic how lazy and inconsistent this charity has become. The driver even left a donation receipt which tells me they are just too lazy to do their job!!! I will NEVER donate to this charity again. It's a waste of time and efforts for some laborer to be calling the shots!!!! The driver even left a donation receipt which tells me they are just too lazy to do their job!!!

    My initial dealings with them were good/ok but then they ghosted me. I did my initial with just my…read moreVSO (which i recommend) and got 60, i got two denials that didnt make sense. I will say VETCOMM helped me with getting one of the two corrected. the issue i have is they ghosted me then on two things they made mistakes on. one should have been obvious (i claimed loose bowls with the VSO they put it in as a new primary rather that fix the suplemental. i had to go to reddit to figure out how to fix it because they ghosted me after fixing my migraine issue (moved it to secondary). i cant recommend them because they were no help fixing the issuses that they had me submit. no even advice after the one cleared. i give them 3 stars beccuse they met their requirements by getting me 10% more (migraines and the PTSD fix moved me to 80%) but i did expect to get ghosted as soon as i hit 10% more. i wish i just had one more text with here is what i needed to do.

    I do not recommend using Vetcomm to help you achieve your VA disability rating because they are…read moreOverpriced, Disorganized, Questionable business practices, and implement a toxic work culture. OVERPRICED: They will charge you $1497 for their "Advanced VA Disability Course (OTP)", $2100 (3 monthly payments), $2400 (6 monthly payments), $1795 (Other than honorable), and $600 for extensions (if you want to try a second round to increase your rating). What you are technically paying for is the online course/video; not them doing the work for you. If you want someone holding your hand (especially if you are elderly and technologically challenged) this is not the best option for you in my opinion. Also, this payment is due upfront. If you cannot afford it, they will pressure you to use Klarna, Afterpay, Paypal, Cashapp to get a short term loan from them to use for this product. These companies will run your credit and typically give you a decent rate if you have credit over 650 FICO. They do guarantee a moneyback guarantee if they cant get you a 10% increase if you go through their program unless you are already at 90% or trying to change your OTH (other than honorable) rating. In that case they will try 2-3 rounds and if they can't help, you lost your money. DISORGANIZED: One hand does not know what the other hand is doing. Its a very top heavy medium sized company where the CEO (Kate Monroe) rules with an Iron hand. The overall group is alot of nice folks (especially the few veterans they have employed there). You might luck out and get a sales person who actually cares for you, OR get someone who will just go through their script to find out how to sell you THAT DAY! They are under tremendous pressure to sell, sell, sell... Everything else comes second. Do not be surprised if you talk to someone who has never served, has no clue how to relate to a veteran but is constantly pushing you to sign up THAT DAY! QUESTIONABLE BUSINESS PRACTICES: Their whole business model is toting a narrow line between getting more sales while technically not breaking the law. They do this by selling you a product (online videos, etc) rather than services which only VSOs can do. Once you are signed up, they will schedule you with an appointment to help you set up zoom (going forward that is how you will communicate) and make sure you can login to the VA website. sometimes it can take up to a month for this first appointment which a lot of veterans find frustrating. Your second appointment (could be another month or two out) will be with a "claims expert" who will go over your conditions and see what you should file for. Your mileage may vary. I had one person who had no clue and another (Marcel) who was extremely knowledgeable. Unfortunately I do not think he is with Vetcomm anymore. VA themselves can take up to 3 months for the overall process but Vecomm could add an additional 2-3 months (per round) for the overall process due to all the waiting. The good news is that once you have filed your LOI (letter of Intent), the VA will back pay you for all the time you waited for your approval (up to 12 months). TOXIC WORK CULTURE: It is very stressful to work there. You are under constant pressure to make sales. The CEO does not care that most Veterans, especially who are older, retired, on SSI cannot afford to pay this huge sum upfront. So she constantly threatens the employees that they will lose their job if the team does not sell 100 veterans that day (Even on days like Christmas EVE). So, even though most of the staff who work there are genuinely nice people, they cannot give the veteran their best as they are under contact stress to sell, sell, sell... They train how to sell, how get someone to borrow from their family, friends to sign up VS actually listening to the veteran and see how they can help them. In conclusion, I think its a shame that this company who had a lot of potential to do really well for all veterans chooses the almighty dollar as their main objective. If you are decent at technology you can do the same thing yourself by watching some good youtube videos, using ChatGPT/AI to help you and save yourself tons of money. If you are not good at technology and need some hand holding, this might work for you if you don't mind paying upfront, are patient, but then again they don't really hold your hand during the process; you still need to do the work - they just advise you on what to say or not to say. Other options to consider are Attorney, VSO (i.e DAV, American Legion) who are pro-bono. Also look into VeteransAI who I heard as 96% success rate. Good luck on your journey and wish all of you success!

    Family holds children's hands for a while, and their hearts forever…read more You may have noticed some houses have small flags or banners with a blue star hanging in a front window. It doesn't matter if you're in America or anywhere in the world, the flags or banners are all the same --and they hang quietly, solemnly in home windows. Why? Well, when a family member joins the military, some military families choose to display a Blue Star Service banner or flag in a window of their home to signify a loved one or more than one is an Active Duty Service member in one of the six US Armed Forces. There are also Blue Star pins to wear. As a Blue Star family myself, I believe that the worst part of being a Blue Star Family is waiting for the Active Duty family member to come home; for family gives children roots to grow from and wings to fly with. It might even be said one pulls oneself together as a Blue Star Family member. During that waiting, I find that connecting with others is very important, just as important as my connections with my Veterans organizations. These social connections such as joining non-profits like here Blue Star Families, lowers my anxiety and depression, help me regulate my emotions, leads to higher self-esteem and empathy, boosts my mood, and actually improve my immune systems and overall health. I am happier. When I'm at Blue Star Families meetings and events I feel valued, seen, heard, supported, and that the companionship and interactions with others are mutually rewarding. The minute someone takes the oath to Serve in the US. military, both their life and their family's lives change forever. All the things they heard about and prepared for - the moves, deployments, the time apart - all become a reality and life is never the same again, not only for the Service members, it changes also for their family. This special flag, displayed only by military families, is where the phrase "Blue Star Family" comes from and refers to the family members of an Active Duty Service member. The Blue Star Family tradition is rich in history and dates back to World War I. Blue Star organizations help military families and raise awareness of Blue Star Families' sacrifices. November is National Veterans & Military Family Month. Find out who are the Blue Star Families in your neighborhood and offer to help out 'em. Family is spouse, parents, stepparents, foster parents, father-in-law, mother-in-law, children, stepchildren, foster children, sons-in-law, daughters-in-law, great and grandparents, great and grandchildren, brothers, sisters, brothers-in-law, sisters-in-law, aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins, and those who consider an Active Duty Service member a part of their family. There are numerous non-profits that have "Blue Star Families" or "Blue Star" in their names, and they are located throughout America and the world. None are officially a part of the US government. Blue Star Mothers, another Blue Star non-profit, is chartered by the US Congress. https://www.everycrsreport.com/reports/RL30340.html https://www.facebook.com/BlueStarFamilies/ https://www.charitynavigator.org/ein/800369895

It is very difficult to have consistency​ in your therapy​ when appointments​ are so limited with your counselor​. If you are a working individual or a student it makes it even more complicated. The guys at the front desk are polite and nice, but terrible at relaying​ messages; therefore is impossible to communicate directly with your counselor​ since you cannot have their email nor their direct line. I know these​ guys are overworked; they keep taking clients under very low staffing. I know low staffing is out​ of their control, but accepting more clients when they cannot keep up​ with the ones they have is not OK. I felt obligated to quit​ after having such a difficult time booking the ​appointment​​s and delaying my therapy; at times I felt worst having to relive it and dealing with it for two or three weeks until my next appointment​. I always felt in a rush, and not enough time to deal with all the mess in my head. They say many things that they cannot keep. Therefore, I felt, though their intentions might be honorable; they were more damaging​ to me than helpful​. But remember, everyone's experience is different.​
