Thanks for all the inputs, really appreciated!
DAV. The BDD thing only works if you start the process prior to some cutoff (180 or 90 days prior to separation, I can't remember).
The DAV was awesome for me; literally just brought them my medical record (on CD), and they did everything. Only other thing I had to do was show up to the appointments that the VA made for me. In my case I went to the DAV and started the process about 30 days prior to separation, but then had to wait until after my separation for them to schedule the appointments.
If you're within the cutoff for the BDD, definitely do not go through the VA. Use a VSO for it.
