AMVETS and Dale Tiberg located in Phoenix, AZ have been amazing! Very responsive, went the extra mile always, and listened to my concerns and frustrations with the VA. He tirelessly sought to make sure the correct outcome was possible, and in my case with a successful outcome. He always made sure I was kept up-to-date on the claim and I owe my disability service connection to him and AMVETS. I highly recommend not taking on the monster that is VA alone and if you live in the greater Phoenix area call upon Dale and AMVETS to represent you with your claim. You'll feel confident that it will be done right.
Thanks for this opportunity to share my thoughts on DALE TIBERG, with AMVETS, here in the Phoenix Area. I was put in contact with him a few years ago after I receive my Agent Orange Status. Not knowing what this was all about and being a Diabetic, DALE carried me through the process of filing Claims, and helping me to get a better understanding of what I qualified for with my status. DALE is very Knowledgeable on all of the proper steps, forms and paperwork which needs to be completed to complete the Claims Process. I must say, I don't think I could have connected with a better person to instruct me on my needs. I am very PLEASED with what he has done for me. I have recommended him to other Vets who have had issues trying to deal with Claims, and will continue to do so.
Hi, I am a Army Veteran that served both during the Cold War (Germany) and OIF (Operation Iraqi Freedom). When leaving the military (Fort Bliss) I had little support or guidance in 2007. In 2011 I started looking into getting support and guidance to Veteran benefits. The first resource I went to was the Phoenix DAV, but was told that they are backlogged and it would be about 4 months to get any help needed. Not wanting to what I did some research on other local organizations and consulted with AMVET. The service I received was outstanding. The local representative, Dale, actively listened to my case and then went through the process Department of Veteran Affairs benefits timeframe. He gave me all the necessary paperwork and went through each one in detail. He also stressed that the process must have documentation from the military, civilian medical staff, and VA staff. Dale came up with a game plan on getting all my paperwork done, documentation, and submitting it. He also followed up with phone calls and emails to make sure I was on track. Once I was having an issue with the VA after Comp & Pen (C & P) only to run into a dead end. The VA had done 2 of my claims but failed to set up my other 2 claims and my case was in limbo. I contacted Dale and within the next day my case was moving again and the VA called me for my other 2 Comp & Pen (C & P) appointments. Having a Service Representative makes a big difference in getting your case through and picking the right organization also makes a big difference. I can't thank AMVET enough for listening to my case and pushing it through. I would highly suggest AMVET to any Veteran needing support.
Hi there, my name is Luis and I had AMVETS represent me during my fight with the VA claims process. Mr. Tiberg was my VSO and he has been awesome all the way. From the beginning to the end, he has been professional and very helpful. He was prompt when helping file for my claim, he was reliable when I needed advise, and he was there when I needed to blow some steam. I truly believe that he was one of the main factors that contributed in me winning my VA claim. Once again, he is dependable; he listens well, and he does his job because he loves working with veterans.
Good Day,
I retired from the Air Force in November 2008 without any knowledge of how to work with the VA. Dale Tiberg was definitely the right person to help me go through the claims process. He was a true professional and very knowledgeable about filing my claim. I began late in 2010, again due to not knowing when to file and submitted in early 2011, 14 months after retirement, which creates more problems completing a claim after 12 months be out. He was tireless in assisting me and was instrumental in helping me get multiple reconsiderations for my VA benefits due to several denials. He walked me through the claims process and explained each step as to how the VA assesses and rates each part of the claim. This whole process took over 5.5 years and is a very time consuming process. I could have never completed this process and received my benefits without his expertise. He was always available for any questions, which were many and he continued to demonstrate a lot of patience with me during this whole time. He continually made sure all my required paperwork was filed correctly and on time within the VA guidelines. This experience has confirmed that I picked the right nonprofit and the right person to work with for my VA claim. The pleasure I had working with Dale has been spread across my network as I continue to refer him to other veterans that need help in filing their claim. Mostly, the ones who are unaware of the reconsideration and appeals process. Dale has help me reach out to many veterans who have given up over the years due to lack of knowledge or simply tired of the run around and denials from the VA. Lastly, Dale was the calm during my storm. He was the only one within the VA (complex) who would even talk to me. The 1-800 phone number is almost useless for trying to get help with claims and again, Dale helped me understand the VA responsibilities compared to the advocate teams assistance. I continue to work on claims with Dale, as he is the only one I will work with when it comes to the VA.
Kudos to the AmVets in Phoenix and Dale Tiberg.
I retired from the United States Public Health Service (USPHS), in December 2015, as a nurse officer. Dale Tiberg assisted me and was instrumental in helping me get my VA benefits. He was a true professional and very knowledgeable about filing my claim. He walked me through and explained each step of this very time consuming process. I could not have done it without his expertise. He was always available for any questions I had and educated me. He made sure all the required paperwork was filed in a timely manner in order to ensure I received my benefits. It has been a pleasure working with him and I will refer him to other veterans that need help in filing their claim.
