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.

I really don’t think you need the help
Of a law firm that’s going to take your money. Contact the DAV and they will represent you at no charge. They hss as be the knowledge and experience on 10s of thousands of claims
Best of luck

I used Trajector! They have the medical staff, the testing, the write up experts and the legal people. You can't go wrong. They will walk you through everything and even find things you are disabled for which you didn't realize. You will pay for their services but usually that amount will be only from the time it is filed until the time the VA starts paying so it is as if no money comes out of your pocket. I am 100% satisfied with them regardless of the govt saying you shouldn't or don't need to pay anyone to help you. I wouldn't have even done it had they not took the helm and did everything.

If you want my 2 cents. If your claim has been denied twice get an attorney. You can find one that does 20% or less. Normally an ex jag officer. The VA has lied and cheated to try not to pay me. But if you have a legit claim fight! But you'll need an attorney. This is coming from 8 yrs of fighting.

A law firm is a waste of time. Most important things to do are go to every single appointment and ask to document in notes all problems found. If going to any outside doctors get their notes and add to your medical files. As far as a veteran’s advocate? Many people don’t realize that the VA’s regional office has their own. IMO they are the most qualified and knowledgeable counselors can find. They also have everything at their fingertips and easily can advise what steps need to be taken. If lucky can find a compassionate person. Once my counselor found taking too long and went to that person’s desk, took my file moving forward personally. People believe that the VA purposely deny claims. In my experience it’s always about the lack of the right information in your file. When denied they usually determine this, but don’t offer any information how to obtain. So it’s up to you to make sure that your doctors fully describe your injuries and for you to push to resolve or indicate all symptoms related to your disabilities. This usually is a long process. As your diagnosis worsens your claims gradually increase. Main problems usually generate from having a serious issue trying to get full compensation without this gradual increase of information in your VA file. A lawyer can do zero except take a chunk of your back pay when awarded arrears in compensation. Can’t fast track the process.

I finally got mine approved by the following company, which does not charge you if your claim is not approved, and if it is approved, they only charge you 25% of your first check:
Victory disability [login to see] [login to see]
They so assisted me with obtaining my Social Security disability. They charge the same as they do for VA claims. Very helpful, but be patient! It doesn’t happen right away, but it will happen!

I used VetDefender and with in a year she was able to help me get awarded 100% P&T. She is a great woman and truly cares about her veterans.

Don't give up. The VA will put up many road blocks. I have been waiting a year now and it is still in processing. Every time I call VBA I get a different or confusing answer. The last time they called me and apologized and said that my claim was completed but it was put back into the cloud by mistake. They apologized profusely. A week later they told that it never happened. My VSO is not very proactive. It is really frustrating. I have cancer, kidney disease, and I am on 6 liters of oxygen. I will probably die before they decide. It so sad.

The military sent that Agent Orange herbicide to many different countries. If the country was a tropical place they definitely received barraels of Agent Orange. I have found export documents that show why country they were shipped to, why the amount of Agent Orange that was shipped and the value of the shipment. Our government tracks import and exports on everything. It is without a doubt that not only did Vietnam get Agent Orange but just about every county in that area including Panama, Guam, Thailand, Phillipines. The DOD has been lying about those shipments for years. It really pisses me off. I still don't understand how only Camp Lejuene was chosen. There are over 700 bases in the US that are toxic sites. Check out EWG. Environmental Work Group. They track many chemicals throughout the world.

My advice is to contact Veterans Guardian. They got me from 50% to 100%. Yes there is a fee = 5X your increase. They do all the paperwork but you may have to pay a referred doctor. This people are awesome!
