VI. Can I use a VSO, the DAV, or other organization to submit my claim?

Yes. We work with many accredited agents, attorneys, and lawyers. All DBQs must be completed and signed by a licensed medical provider. Accredited agents, attorneys, and lawyers cannot give medical advice or sign DBQs.

 

X. How does Suave Mentoring differ from my primary care physician?

Our licensed medical providers know the VA disability claims process and understand how to complete DBQs. Most primary care physicians do not have the knowledge to complete a DBQ correctly and some will even decline to complete a DBQ for you in fear of Conflict of Interest.
