I have been fighting this claim for 4 years, finally got rated 80% in July, flied for TDIU and got denied because some rater found me mentioned on the internet as a member of a professional association and I have advanced degrees so he made the leap that I was employable, despite Psychologists and Psychiatrists statements that I am not employable! DAV screwed me all up, first filing for a DRO and then changing it to a traditional BVA.
I was going nuts, and finally said the heck with it and went looking for an attorney. I am sure there are many out there, but Mark Lippman (www.veteranslaw.com) discussed my case with me and accepted me as a client. Now, I haven't won anything yet, so cannot say he is a super attorney for vets, but he treated me good and I feel like a ton of bricks has been lifted off of my shoulders. I have an undergraduate law degree, an MBA and am working on a PhD, and I cannot figure this stuff out...drives me nuts (or maybe that is the PTSD kicking in!). I know that I am giving up 20%, but to me it is worth it to know that I have someone in my corner that knows what is going on and how to make things happen.
