Any law firms represent less than 100%?

[USMCNASA]

I am currently rated at 30% combined.  I submit a new claim for disabilities not on my original claim.  I got denied.

I've reached put to several firms for help, and all of them have said they either only represent low income/unemployed vets or vets seeking 100% or Total Disability.

Anyone know of firms that help for less than 100%?

I'm pretty mad about my denial, as QTC was contracted for my appointments.  I had 3 C&P appointments in 2021, during September.  There was no mention of any additional appointments.  Then out of nowhere I was emailed on Feb 7th about an appointment on the 9th (which went to junk mail).  I received a paper packet in the mail from QTC postmarked on the 9th, for said appointment on the 9th.  I was out of town, so i did not see the packet until March, but even if I was home I wouldn't have seen the packet until the afternoon, on the 9th, which would have been too late.  So, I missed the appointment. On Feb 14th a decision was made.

I went into this with hopes I would get fair treatment, but this experience really makes me feel like the cards are stacked against me, and I need help from someone else to have a chance.

Thanks for any info,

Also, yesterday I submit a request for my C-file, so I can see the results and comments from the C&P examiner.

Once you sign up with the new VSO, if they have access to VBMS, they may be able to obtain the C&P exam notes without you having to wait. I know that as soon as a decision letter has been entered into the system, my VSO can print it right out.

That's good to know.  I would like to see the C&P, to see exactly what was written in there.

My denial letter states that my current anxiety and depression are not service related and instead it is "more likely than not" caused due to the recent passing of my Father in law and the fact that I have returned to school and am taking college courses. 

I never ever discussed family issues for fear they would call it that. Whenever any health provider asked questions in that direction I never replied or kept my comments generalized and minimal.

Great advice. I do the same. Keep it simple. Examiners find ways to trick you. In example. An examiner was doing my rom for my back. Then afterwards she told me to go ahead and send down, untie my shoes and take them off.  I had slip on so that trick did not work.

Its only a trick if you are not honest with your ROM.

I do agree.
