DISABLED AMERICAN VETERANS service officers, hours are 0900-1400 @ both locations with M-F @ Lake Baldwin VA Outpatient Clinic, 5201 Raymond Street, Orlando, FL 32803 (407-646-5500 ext 28720) and M-Thursday @ the Orlando VAMC at Lake Nona, 13800 Veterans Way, Orlando, FL 32827 (407-631-1833). Please bring your DD214 and any paperwork such as previous claims, decisions, appeals, outside-the-VA doctor reports, etc.
If you are denied a claim, please read the reason why it was denied on the denial letter, as that tells us what we need to do to get the claim approved on appeal. If you want to see what information we will need for the various forms, such as the 21-526EZ, 20-0995, 21-8940, and 21-686c, you can visit https://www.va.gov/find-forms/?q=claims. 21-0966 can be used first in case you are NOT ready to supply the other paperwork, so if the VA rules in your favor, they can pay you back to when you filed the 21-0966 (which might be able to be done over the phone with the VA @ 800-827-1000), but the rest of the paperwork should be filed with the DAV, so we can make sure it is fully completed. Claims filled out completely and accurately will decrease the amount of time it takes to process your claim. Tuesdays and Thursdays 1100-1500, a service officer will be at the VFW Post 2093, 4444 Edgewater Dr, Orlando, FL 32804; DAV chapter 16 cell phone 407-843-3722.
