I am in desperate need of getting help with my disability claims. I'm in need of a law firm to help me. I need suggestions/reommendations?

I would start at your local Veteran Service Office(VSO). I went through them with all my claims and they assigned them to the DAV. The VSO and DAV has been a tremendous help in helping me get the compensation I deserved

There are also presumed injuries . I was in some pretty dark stuff so it was hard . Also contact your congresspersons office . They have people that specialize in this . Overall DISABLED AMERICAN VETERANS IS AWESOME AND KNOW THE SYSTEM

Attorney George sink [login to see] atty Douglas smith [login to see] tabs eill blow you off . They are not your friend . I went through paralyzed veterans and later Disabled American Veterans they are independent veterans organizations that fight va since the civil war . That’s the only way to get results . Again . Va doctors try to help but are told to not comment on the veterans disability. The heads of va get paid a lot . Live in large houses , drive Exspensive cars. They want to keep that lifestyle in Washington DC . You will go nowhere without proper help . A DAV marine went to battle for me and won .Do not trust the va . They again are not your friend . Good luck

Hang in there it took five years and a lot of hospital visits and heart surgery’s for the VA to finally grant me. My benefits do to agent orange,

I have never gone to a lawyer for my VA disability claims. The key is to educate yourself on what the VA Raters are looking for. They get extremely technical about what you submit and will reject anything you submit if it is not clear, concise and missing anything. I go to my VA rep which is located inside my VA clinic. The folks I see there know what they are doing and their services are at no cost to the veteran. Here are a few recommendations. 1) Go on YouTube. There are several really good sources of information such as Veterans Info Tap, Combat Craig and KMD89 VA Claims Consulting - Dewayne Kimble. 2) Evidence, evidence, evidence. Whatever you are going to submit a claim for, make sure it's in your medical records. Also make sure that you are being seen for those conditions by the VA. Have a record that you have been evaluated and that you are receiving care for your condition. 3) Download the proper DBQ based on the conditions you are submitting for. Look at that DBQ very closely. It will tell you exactly what the VA Raters are looking for. That DBQ should be filled out by the doctor at the VA facility which you go to. The DBQ can also be filled out by a civilian Dr if need be. 3) Any evidence you have concerning your disability can come from the VA itself or from a civilian Dr. Example: X-rays and other types of exams from a civilian facility can be submitted in conjunction with anything from the VA. 4) If you do not yet have a MyHealthVet.va. com account then open one now. Follow all the steps to get a PREMIIUM account. Once you have that, you can access all of your VA medical history. It's all there. Download it all in PDf format. Look through it. Any medical evaluations and evidence you may need will be found there. 5. Don't give up. The system is gamed against us. Persevere. The only way you are going to beat the system is to provide detailed evidence because as we all know, you have to JUSTIFY everything you request. Don't give them any outs. Attend every single medical appointment you have. And even if you feel great, keep setting up appointments to keep up treatments and to check on your disabilities. If you don't go to your VA facility on a regular basis for your injuries then the system will assume you are doing fine and do not require compensation for anything. Also, keep an eye out for secondary disabilities. Example: I fell off of a helicopter engine deck in 1988. My knees are toast . That injury, over time, has also affected my hips and back. Those are secondary and eligible for compensation. So you need to have in your medical records any secondary condition which came about from a primary condition. Yes, the system is convoluted. Just get your DBQ, NEXUS letters if needed and any other statements you can get from witnesses together. The VA Raters require evidence. Solid evidence. Irrefutable evidence. If you can get that then submit it and you will be approved for compensation. Simply put, don't give the VA raters any wriggle room to deny your claim. Best of luck.

Sean Kendall is an attorney who specializes in Vet cases. [login to see] . This is not an ad or a hoax. He has a great paralegal who responds right away and will tell you what paperwork they need. Others have used him. I didn't need to because the VA finally approved my 100% rating after fighting for 20 years on my own- it came through while I was in the process of contacting Mr. Kendall. Wish I'd heard about him sooner. I ended up getting a lot of studies on my own and paying out of pocket for tests the VA didn't want to get.

I was diagnosed with PTSD by the VA. When I went for compensation the VA compensation doctor lied and said I wouldn't talk about Vietnam. She denied my claim. The VFW national supplied me with an attorney free of charge. She took control of my appeal , it was approved and I was awarded 6 years back pay! I did make a generous donation to the VFW. I thank them from the bottom of my heart.

THERE SHOULD BE VETERAN SERVICE OFFICERS, IN YOUR YOUR AREA THAT COULD HELP YOU.
