My son was wounded in Iraq by an IED. The VA gave him the run around for 3 years on his claims. Me being a veteran as well thought I could help him navigate the VA. I was dead wrong. WWP and DAV came through for my son. I have nothing but good things to say about them.

Sorry to hear that. My experience was just the opposite.
My county gubmint has an office set up with staff who act as liaisons between the VA and the vet.
Two years ago, I put in a claim for service connected hearing loss (USMC arty) and within six months I had a set of free hearing aids ($2k), and a 10% disability rating.
Did working through my local liaison office make a difference? Maybe. But I've had no problems with followup trips to the VA.
