I then put my original away and work off the copy. Now if you know the specific date it’s fairly easy to find. If on the other hand you don’t know specifically or you had symptoms leading up to it. Well this may take some detective work and so Watson the game is afoot. Le…

Chris Attig talks to you about a question that a lot of Veterans ask him: "If I get a 100% rating, should I continue fighting the VA for benefits?" Let’s jump right into the answer. Many Veterans perceive the 100% rating as the end of the line. The sign of victory over the Hamster Wheel. But….….is it REALLY over when you get to 100%? Well, the hard part sure is over…but I think that there are several reasons to keep on fighting – even after you reach the 100%. Let me tell you about 6 of those reasons…[Reprinted here with permission from Veterans Law Blog ] Scenario #1: 100% TDIU May Not be Permanent There are several paths to a 100% rating in VA Co…

Choosing a VA Disability Attorney Means Learning What Questions to Ask. Chris Attig - Veterans Law Blog How to Hire an Attorney For Your VA Claim or Appeal Free Guidebook available on the Veterans Law Blog I got an email the other day from a Veteran. It had 2 or 3 sentences about his claim, and then closed at the end: “Please call me.
