Lay Statement

Question

Hello Everyone

I wanted to give an update on my appeal process,I'e contacted a lawyer to help me in my appeals and the law firm contacted me today and told me that I would need to send them a copy of my C&P exam and I need to get several lay statements to back up my claim. I wanted to know how effective are lay statements and is there a template that I can use, and do these statements have to be notarized because everyone that I contacted said that they would do it but they were just going to put the statement in an email and send it to me. And i would like to say again thank you to everyone on this forum for all of your help I really appreciate it.

Eric

I see the problem as being the nexus, in that they acknowledge it happened on active duty but say that this pain he has now is not related to the original injury. Sworn/notarized affidavits stating he's had this on-going problem since the accident may help somewhat but I feel a good IMO connecting them is what's needed. All statements should be sworn and notarized, as it carries more weight in the legal system. jmo
