I had most of my injury surgies at Andrews AirForce base hospital. The VA is saying that means I get no benefits for my injuries. I find that hard, and they won't go to Andrews to get information saying I had the surgeries.

Most of the claims that are submitted directly by the claimant fail to get recognized as there is insufficient medical information and other information on which to base an acceptance of a claim... You don't need an attorney as there are certified resources in the DAV in your area to assist you with filing a claim...they can help and advise you what VA forms you need to provide and if you provide the information on requested on the form, the correct documentation will be forwarded directly to the correct VA claim center and the Service Officer will follow it through...More information may be needed, but they will assist you...but you have to maintain contact with your designated Service Officer working with you... Message me if you want to contact a DAV Service Officer near you.

As Some Of You Are Aware, It Was Actually The VA Medical Care Whom Disabled Me...
Every Bit Of The Information Is Right There ~ In My VA Medical Records..100% Of It.
I've Received Multiple Referrals For Assistance And They Give Me Referrals Too.
But I've Yet To Find One Which DOES Something.

if you went to the VA for medical issues why do I have to go out find them. They are in my medical record and they have access to those records. All of my diagnosis are in the medical report I see on Evet account. It also shows all the medication I take for these conditions.

You have to provide medical documentation I was always told. Can you request a copy of your medical records? I turned in a copy and have my original copy and x-rays as well.

My attorney got everything I needed for my claim. He and his team, did the research, put all the correct paperwork in, I didn't have to research anything. The way I see it, if I didn't use an attorney, all the forms and paperwork would been screwed up and I would have still be trying to get my forms incorrectly. Good luck guys and girls!

It is my believe that when we got out of the military, all Veterans should get at least 30%. When we get 65 years old, we should all get 100% which will eliminate a lot of claims. You served you deserve. Fellow Vets, you deserve it, you should get it. I used an attorney, the Law offices of Kenneth Hiller PLLC [login to see] or call a Case Manager [login to see] . The attorney’s helped me get 50% from 0% but I have other claims in that should bump it up to at least 70%. There are other things you can claim, and when you get to 70% you can claim unemployment, pensions and all your prescriptions are FREE. There are other benefits you can earn. You can have mental disabilities, like PTSD, General Anxiety, Amnesia, Chronic adjustment disorder, Cognitive disorders, eating disorders (e.g., anorexia and bulimia), Mood disorders, Schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders, somatoform disorders (i.e., mental disorders that manifest as unexplained physical ailments). There over 300 other disorders that VA will pay you for. These symptoms MUST be service related or if you had these symptoms before you entered the service made then worse. Good luck everybody and I encourage you to use an Attorneys. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain and it don’t cost u a dime until you get a rating.

PO3 Shauneille Peoples - When we leave the military, we leave with a mild case that will develop into more problems. I am 73 years old and I have a Mild case of Demetia caused by the service. This comes from boot camp, lifers and career officers yelling screaming and telling you to do some ungodly things. In Vietnam, men had to burn the human crap that lead to diseases, we were put in places where I monkey wouldn't go, but we went in those spaces. There are over 300 mental conditions you can claim. there are over 900 total from head to toe you maybe entitled to. I received my compensation last year. This isn't impossible, look at me, I received my compensation after 50 years. You have everything to gain and nothing to loose. If you use the Attorney, the VA will deduct 20% form your reward. You don't pay a dime.

PO3 Shauneille Peoples - I too deserve allot! I keep always saying, both Jesus and Judas were paid far better than I ever was for all my problems! On the flip, backing-up my little choo choo train, think I'd rather leave those decisions for either God or a Judge, with the later legal profession not having much faith in aside from Judges themselves. Good luck if you choose the civilian legal route. Of course, I'm assuming most claims do not require civilian legal help, with civilian legal cases being mostly made-up of the more difficult cases. I suggest networking/talking with others first before jumping for a civilian lawyer, unless there were something criminal occurring. Much to be thankful for.

AB Roger Zauner I left it up to the Lord... his answer was the route I took. This Law Firm was a personal recommendation from a Veteran in my PTSD support group. There are absolutely no fees involved UNLESS they are successful.
