Question
68mustang
I tried this week to get a lawyer who represents vets to represent me on my claims. To make a long story short I was told that they could not represent me because what it came down to was that it was not feasible for them or me to be represented by them because of the monetary compensation and their percentage fee (20% or 25% don't remember which). I was told that if the disability percentage I was trying to obtain was 70% or more that I could call them at a later date. You see I am only at 20% (10% tinnitus and 10% depression) now and they told me that I could probably go for an increase to 30% on my depression, which should bring me up to 40%. I was very happy at first because I was given the impression that they would represent me, then they pop my balloon. It all came down to dollars and cents. I am going to use a local VSO who is helping a vet friend of mine. Thanks just needed to get this out and somewhat vent.
