All of the DAV's National Service Officers (NSOs) and Transition Service Officers (TSOs) are service connected, wartime disabled veterans themselves, and most of their work involves securing disability benefits from the VA. Our NSOs are highly trained professionals and 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.

NSO training begins with a rigorous 16 month on-the-job training (OJT) program. The OJT program combines the expertise of seasoned DAV NSOs providing comprehensive, advanced training in laws, regulations, benefit programs and related subjects, with college courses in anatomy and physiology, speech communications and legal writing and reasoning.

This training program is just another measure of the DAV's commitment to the highest level of quality representation provided to disabled veterans, their families and survivors, assuring quality service in the 21st century.
