While we want VA to issue decisions in a timely manner, we want them to get it right. That is not happening.

A trail of denials, inaccurate decisions and prolonged appeals processes have left veterans without benefits.

Benefits restored! After a client's total disability benefits were severed, it was extremely stressful for him while we fought for restoration. After 6 long months, his 100% disability benefits were deemed improperly severed and fully reinstated.

VA has increasingly been proposing to reduce benefits for veterans they believe have conditions that have improved. It is rarely the case that a Veteran's disabilities have materially improved so it is important to consult an attorney and have your matter reviewed.

A client had his acquired psychiatric condition reduced and unemployability benefits severed after VA claimed his conditions had improved. We knew that was not the case. We fought back and, this week, the Board of Veterans' Appeals conceded VA's actions were improper and all benefits were fully restored.

Veterans are entitled to benefits for disabilities stemming from in-service injuries or illnesses AND they are also entitled to benefits for any secondary conditions caused by those primary conditions. This week, a client was granted benefits for his back disability as secondary to a foot condition that stems from service.

All gave some; some gave all. While enjoying the long weekend, take time to appreciate and pay respect to those that have given the ultimate sacrifice for us.

When benefits are awarded, that doesn't necessarily mean that the fight is over. We ensure that VA has awarded the correct effective date and assigned the appropriate rating to reflect the severity of the disability.

Today, a client who had been granted benefits for pulmonary fibrosis received an increase after initially being under-rated to reflect the severity of this condition.

Did you know obstructive sleep apnea has been linked to toxic exposures? We just obtained benefits for a client this week on this basis.
