Appoint a Representative for a VA Application – Good or Bad Idea?

March 6, 2011 ⏱ 1 min read

“Is it good practice to appoint a representative organization and/or individual (VA Forms 21-22 or 21-22a) to represent the veteran on the VA application? If so, which do you find works best?”

Answer:  It depends on the family.  If I am helping the family, I am appointed a representative using the 21-22a.  If not, I encourage them to appoint a veteran service office as the agent under the 21-22.
