Mumford

He is not very forthcoming with information so I'm just working with the bits and pieces he has mentioned here and there. I'm sorry if it's not correct or is just partial information. He is old school, he doesn't like to talk about his issues. The info that I have is that he set up an appt with the va to be evaluated last year. He did the evaluation and they gave him 45%. I thought it seemed a little off as well because I myself have gone through the process (granted I was active when I did). I told him he needs to go back and press the issue. I agree with you that it is ultimately up to him but he has a lot of issues and he recently was diagnosed with Parkinson so he has his good Days and his bad days. Sometimes he is eager to move forward and other days he just seems to lose the will to do anything. It's not because he is lazy, Parkinson takes a toll. I am just trying to aid the process to make it easier on him. I appreciate all the help.

My father is a retired Navy veteran and he recently tried to get his disability bumped up from 10% because he is pretty much broken all over. He hurt his back while he was active and they gave him 10% (this was 25 years ago) and now his legs are pretty messed up, he has a bad limp and his legs get poor circulation. He has trouble walking. After he applied to get his rating up they only gave him 45% but he needs more. What can he do? Is there a better process? I have heard there are va lawyers that can help. He says he needs at least 50% I personally think he needs 100%. Any info would be helpful. Thank you!
