Reconsideration/appeal Need Help On What To Expect!

Asked by 1lonewolf

Hello All, My claim is currently under Reconsideration based on new Medical Evidence. I am wandering what the normal range of compensation for each condition is such as 10-30% etc.. As my DAV rep is very busy, I was hoping someone here could give me an idea. I have reviewed Code 38 and it is not clear to me really. These conditions are not all part of my claim but I am trying to assist some other Veterans with their claims so any help would be appreciated. As I know some of you have these awards I thought I would inquire. Thanks to everyone in advance for any assistance and support.

      Choosing a VA Disability Attorney Means Learning What Questions to Ask

      Tbird posted a topic in VA Disability Claims Articles and VA News,

      Choosing a VA Disability Attorney Means Learning What Questions to Ask. Chris Attig - Veterans Law Blog 

      <br style="color:#000000; text-align:start">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. So-and-so told me you were the best and I want your help.”

      While I appreciate the compliments, I shudder a little at emails like this.  For 2 reasons.

      First, I get a lot of emails like this.  And while I diligently represent my clients – I often tell them we will pursue their claim until we have no more appeals or until we win – I am most assuredly not the best.

      There are a LOT of damn good VA Disability attorneys out there.  (Most, if not all, of the best are members of the National Organization of Veterans Advocates…read about one of them, here)

      Second, I don’t want Veterans to choose their attorney based on who their friend thought was the best.  I want Veterans to choose the VA Disability attorney who is BEST for their case.

      In some situations, that may be the Attig Law Firm.

      But it may also be be Hill and Ponton, or Chisholm-Kilpatrick, or Bergman Moore.  Or any one of the dozens of other attorneys who have made the representation of Veterans their professional life’s work.

      There are hundreds of attorneys that are out there representing Veterans, and I’m here to tell you that who is best for your friend’s case may not be the best for your case.

      How do you Find the Best VA Disability Attorney for your Claim?

      First, you have to answer the question: do you NEED an attorney?

      Some of you don’t...
