When navigating the VA disability process, frustrations run high—especially when your relationship with your Veterans Service Officer (VSO) feels broken. But understanding the true role of VSOs and how to advocate for yourself can make all the difference in winning your claim and reclaiming your peace of mind.

In this candid episode of Terminal Leave Radio, Aaron Knowles pulls back the curtain on the VSO system—its history, limitations, and how often veterans mistake a poor experience for betrayal. You’ll discover why many veterans feel dismissed or overwhelmed and how bureaucracy, not betrayal, often explains these frustrations. Aaron shares concrete signs that your VSO relationship isn’t serving you, such as unanswered emails, rushed conversations, and missing documentation—warning signs to recognize early.
