Lawyer In The Austin/georgetown, Tx Area?

Rate this question


BFR

Question

So there is this: https://www.ebenefits.va.gov/ebenefits/vso-search

Which turns up quite a few attorney results in the Austin, TX area. I'm in Round Rock; does anyone in Central Texas have experience with any lawyer for VA claims they can share?

Background: I filed a claim for the Desert Storm illnesses the day after Congress made them presumptives (Thank you IOM!!). VA granted me the typical low-ball percentages, I did a NOD that got nowhere in 2014. Now I have a year (right?) I lost the 30-day window because I was dumb enough to believe my VSO rep who was retiring and didn't care much (full disclosure: he is said to have been very good in his prime, but I guess after so many years....)

Current ratings:

- PTSD 50%

- IBS 30% (max allowed)

- Fibromyalgia: 20%

- Chronic Fatigue: 10%

- Allergic Rhinitis: 10%

- some 0%

What I honestly believe I should have:

- PTSD 70%

- IBS 30%

- Fibromyalgia: 40%

- Chronic Fatigue: 60%

- Allergic Rhinitis: 10%

- random 0%

Did they list the IMO as Evidence?

Did the IMO doctor follow the IMO criteria here at hadit?

Can you scan and attach here ( cover C file, name, address)

their Reasons and Bases and the Evidence List?

And also the IMO ? (Cover the doctors name address etc.)

First, I want to make sure I say Thank You!! Berta. You are such a giving person. I want you to know how much we appreciate your willingness to help all us clueless vets. I wish I could make you the Secretary of the VA.

Yes, the IMO was listed as evidence as well as a few others including the records from the VA clinic. I can work on getting these documents scanned and posted, but I'm a mess tonight :)
