Can't find a decent VSO to help you? ... Click over here >>>
My name is Clayton Simms. I am a Christian, husband to my beautiful wife and father of 4.
I served in the US Marine Corps for 10 years.
2011 - 2015: Infantry
2015 - 2019: Psychological Operations and Information Operations Planner
2019 - 2021: Reserve PSYOP/IO
In 2019 I decided to leave the Marine Corps. I found myself in an extremely disappointing Transition Readiness Seminar (or Transition Assistance Program). The Accredited VSO was clueless and left all of us clueless. That began my journey to learn 38 CFR and M21-1 where I now take that knowledge to help veterans understand their evidence, and how to structure their evidence when submitting for VA disability compensation.
I work A LOT here on YouTube and I am a bi-vocational Youth Pastor.
CivDiv's core belief is that veterans should educate and inform themselves on the VA claim process as it pertains to their VA claim situation.
Facts
Most veterans are able to submit their own claim successfully or use an Accredited Rep
Most veterans do not understand how the VA rates each disability they have filed for
Most veterans do not understand how to maximize their rating 5, 10, 20+ years after filing their initial claim
Some veterans do not have the mental bandwidth or time to learn the VA claim process
Some veterans need help that most VSO's are not able to provide
Stay informed. Stay educated.
NO ONE CARES MORE THAN YOU!
