This is for those Veterans only using VA healthcare, my best friend just separated from the Air National Guard, he did 4 combat tours as well as being in the Pentagon on 9/11. He is for the most part completely disabled with back pain and serve PTSD. He just received his disability rating at it's only at 10% but has been seeing the VA for all his medical problems to include his back, PTSD ect. I've witnessed the amount of drugs they have prescribed for him and he's not getting better. Can anyone provide sources he could use to re-file his claim and get a better assessment as his PTSD nor his other physical disabilities have been assessed properly?

the VA seemingly wants to limit the amount of money it pays out for disabilities. This includes lying on evaluations and ignoring VA and military records to support the lying. they have done it with me and they "lost" my paperwork and deleted the records to show they never received it. the appeal demonstrated the where and how of the lying even though they also uncovered other life threatening conditions without ever notifying me.

Sometimes a disability attorney is very helpful in getting things reevaluated since the VA seems to take things more seriously.

I was stuck at 0% for years. On my own, I got things up to 10%. Even with the 10%, I knew that it wasn't right, I just didn't know how to handle things. A friend turned me on to someone that handled things for them. Unlike service groups, she is for profit. Her rates are reasonable, and are contingent, Being a former VA rater and an RN, she knows the exact format to put things in. My 10% is now 70%. If you'd like her information, contact me offline.
