Entitlement

[Andyman73]

Hey, I saw this on Ebennies this morning...I have a current EED NOD in place since last fall, but this morning I saw another appeal that said Entitlement to EED.  What does that mean?

Ok, NOVA lawyer is reviewing my C-file and several VA denial letters that post date the c-file.  Hope to find out sooner, rather than later, she can and will help. 

My VA therapist tells me that I should look at it like this...if I gain nothing, but also lose nothing, then, I am where I was before.  Yup...heading down river towards the waterfall feeding the bottomless pit Charybdis. 

Funny how I can't wrap my head around the idea that I will have lost nothing, if I gain nothing....Sure seems more like if I gain nothing, I'm screwed yet again.  He doesn't understand how I feel, and I don't seem to be able to explain it in a way that he can understand.

I think its a smart thing having a lawyer look her over.  I will mention what I know about attorney's.

Dont be discouraged just because a lawyer isnt interested in your case.  Lawyers have "market niches" where they like cases, often because they won a case there before and are familiar with it.  

For example, some lawyers like Earlier effective dates.  Others may specialize in discharge upgrades.  

Still others may be most familiar with 3.156 new and material evidence.  Some like the BVA, others look to the CAVC, and then a whole other class takes on Federal Circuit, or US Supreme Court.  

Dont be dismayed if your attorney declines your case..just go to another attorney.  

Most attornies prefer "newly denied" BVA cases as those can result in attorney fees quickly.  YOu see, usually the CAVC does not take near as long as the BVA or RO.

She has shown great interest, but she told me that she can't say, either way, until she has gone through my C-file and VA denial letters and stuff.  She is my third lawyer/law firm that I have approached. The two non-NOVA lawfirms, which are known on here, both turned me down due to various reasons.  So neither of them partook in the receiving of their fees from my recent EED award...which would have netted them a shallow 5 figure fee.

Guess time will tell...
