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 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.

Yes, please, they aren't working with me at all. I even have most of the information needed in my service record and they still don't get back with me for months and then it's always a denial. Thank you in advance.

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.

PO3 Shauneille Peoples I was always given a copy of visits to other locations. IE when I was sent to Bethesda instead of Walter Reed.

SSG Michael Noll - I have my original service records and I don't have anything. I would have taken it to medical to have been submitted.

PO3 Shauneille Peoples - I went through the same thing. I was Army and had treatment at an Air Force base. It never got entered in my Army medical records. When I filed a claim, I was never able to get any records of the treatment so I was denied. I just gave it up. I figured any records were lost for good.
Someone dropped the ball and folks like us have to pay the price.

PO3 Shauneille Peoples - I gave up for a period of time... but it kept eating at me. That's when I contacted Woods & Woods. It's not a fast proposition... patience and persistence is a must. They got the job done for me.
