Communication With Your VSO              If you are working on a disability claim you know how important it is to maintain contact with your Veteran Service Officer (VSO).  Keeping in contact with your VSO is critical on many different levels.  For starters, letting your VSO know about your disabilities as they relate to your military service is of utmost importance.  Providing your VSO with documentation in support of your claim is the key to garnering the benefits and compensation you deserve and what you have earned.                                                               Secondly, knowing how to keep your VSO informed of your case provides the basis of developing an alliance that will help you win your case.  You are probably well aware that a simple telephone call to your VSO will oftentimes test the limits of your patience.  Moreover, leaving voice mails for your VSO will sometimes keep you wondering if he or she ever got the message at all.  If you are lucky enough to have an active email address for your VSO, consider your fortunate.  Now, having him or her respond to your email may feel like an exercise in futility.                                              The problem with the methods above is that they are intangible, and therefore, less likely to garner the response you are hoping for.                                                  VSO Correspondence Letters may cost you a few cents for postage, but, you may find that they are much more likely to motivate your VSO to respond to you.  At the very least, your VSO will at least acknowledge receipt of your letter if you send it as a certified mail piece.   Sending the VSO Correspondence Letter certified or with delivery confirmation could make the difference in getting effective feedback from your VSO.                                                            Because millions of veterans use ineffective and mundane methods to contact their VSO, you must do something to stand out.  Using VSO Correspondence Letters may be one such way.
