Your best bet is not to go to your congressman or any other official. Your best course of action is to contact your local VFW or DAV and they will be able to get your case to a National rep that will work your case through the steps and get it together faster. Luckily my neighbor ran the local Va office and when it got bogged down he took it upon himself to send it to the VFW and got it through. And remember if they decide you are entitked to monthly compensation for your disability, it is retroactive back to the day you filed the first claim.
