In 2014, this means you have 74.7% chance of either an award or a remand which COULD be an award. When you also consider that, of the denials, at least some of these are overturned at either the CAVC, the Federal Circus, or sometimes a CUE. Bottom line is you get denied about 1/5, and get at least something 4/5 times, as long as your persist.
IMPORTANT: PAYING FOR AN ATTORNEY OR AGENT PAYS, according to this Chairman's report. "Free" VSO's are not Free, they cost you in that your
denial chances are "hurt" when you try it on the cheap.
You can improve these odds by hiring an attorney. If an attorney represents you, you lose just 13.7 % of the time. Or, your attorney wins a remand or an award 83.2 percent of the time.
Agent is next best, where you lose just 16% of the time.
PVA edges out the other VSO's where you lose 18% of the time
DAV loses 19% of the time,
VVA is also 19 percent
MOPH loses 20% of the time
AMleg is 21% ______ This is the Average; Any of these above are better than average, and below this line are worse than average_____________________.
AmVets 22%
VFW 22%
"State" VSO's head up the rear at 23%
YOur chance of losing with an attorney is almost half of the state VSO's.
