Hello. I submitted a claim to get an increase in certain things back in October 2012 and I just got the results. Instead of bumping my percentages, the Indy office decided to lower two of my disabilities, even though I had plenty of evidence to back me up. This forum mentioned that this regional office makes mistakes on 41% of the claims. Obviously, I'm going to appeal. The question is, should I get a lawyer that handles VA claims? How much do they typically charge? Does anybody know of any good VSO reps in the Terre Haute/Indy area, or lawyers?
