The gas lighting is abundantly clear. Both from the VA and the Navy and then they throw it back at you like you're the problem. Nothing is never enough to them. Hey, don't fight for the ones that need it most.

Refused to even talk to me about my case that 100% qualifies for their help according the their website. All you get is an automated reply saying you don't fit the criteria. They won't even look at your evidence. I have a real lawyer now who says I've got the strongest MST and PTSD claim he's ever seen. All of it I had to do myself. I gathered all the evidence myself, witness statements, 2 VA doctors confirm I had PTSD from this incident, I even got a nexus letter from one. I spent 2 years trying to get these people to do their job. Don't even bother with these people. It's a scam to get government money for doing nothing. They should be closed down for fraud. Complete waste of time.

so far so good - did the advanced footwork, been working with them, and they've been prompt, efficient, and have restored my hope. I reached out to MULTIPLE VSOs - over an 8 month period to receive ABSOLUTELY no return calls, emails, nothing for that time. Finally getting er done! thanks

You have to be a perfect candidate for them to help you. So therefore, if you’re someone who actually would need assistance with your discharge look elsewhere.

I’ve been trying to upgrade my discharge with them since 2019 it’s 2023 and just last month Dee Wallace just informed me that my upgrade application was never submitted/received by the discharge upgrade unit with the military to even look over my claim. I complained and then got Christie Bhageloe and she is the truth. I got assigned lawyers and we submitted my claim in no time. I got an upgrade from OTH to HONORABLE thanks to the hard work of my volunteer lawyers and Mrs. Christie. I would recommend Veteran Consortium pro bono to any veteran in need. Never Give up
