Rob McCarten; Squadron Commander njirish11@gmail.com / Mobile #: 646-246-5948 Post Service Officer Corner December 2018 Our Post Service Officers attended annual training in November. To our surprise there has been a change in our duty responsibilities. Effective immediately, a PSO is NOT authorized to file any claims on behalf of the claimant. PSOs serve as valuable resources to veterans in local posts to ensure that our veterans and their dependents receive their earned benefits. Implementing this policy change will mean our members must be referred to a department service officer(dso). Our members still have the luxury of seeing a DAV service officer who still have the authority to file claims for the veteran.
