    This is a new claim and can be submitted online. Be sure to send all supporting evidence as well.

    Give them everything they need to make a decision.

    All the best on this new claim. Its time to be patient again!!

    Picking a representative

    VSO's do Not get any of your retro pay, but if you hire a "representative to help you with your claim...not a lawyer, they do get 20% of your retro. I used a rep and for me it was well worth the money.

    If you go on the VA web site, they have a list of authorized reps...which is where I found mine from the Boston area and it should tell you that they won't get more than 20%. If you have a NOD and hire a lawyer they are not supposed to get more than 20% of retro either. However a lawyer may find a way to get more, but some will probably stick to the 20% plus fees if there are any.

    I liked my rep and would recommend them to anyone that needs one and if the time comes again to do another claim I would use her again!! Again..to me it was well worth the money.

    All the best!!

    Congratulations on your award!!

    Also, if you have not done so....check into your state Veteran benefits that are available. Most states offer property tax relief even at the 0% level among other benefits that do not require a 100% rating. If you do one day make it to 100% thats a whole different level of benefits from Federal-State and local governments.

    All the best to you and your family!!

    Merry Christmas and have a Happy New Year!!

    Congratulations on your win!!!!

    If you can, get your ID card, because when you travel you would have access to military facilities in your vacation area which come in very handy. Also you can purchase almost everything online through the Exchange with no tax. Honestly most of the items are about the same as civilian, but if you buy a big ticket item you would save the tax and there generally is no cost for shipping. There is also an AFVC...Armed forces vacation club and they have some great deals that way as well in every state.

    Also, be sure and get your 10,000 dollar life insurance policy at no cost to you. Anything above that you would pay for. You should get info on that benefit when you get your BBE.

    Again, Congratulations and all the best to you and your family!! Now like someone above suggested...take your family on a vacation and enjoy yourself!!
