The following statements below all have one thing in common. These are statements that either you have said or someone else has said to you. They have also been said by accredited VA agents and/or attorneys. The one thing that all of these statements have in common is that they are false. And like in life most things are not definite or definitive.
The VA's own language has a lot of commas and ors. Keep in mind that when dealing with the VA, as an organization it is individuals working behind the scenes processing your claim. And just like any part of life, individuals make mistakes. These mistakes are often compounded by the veteran’s own ignorance and inability to understand how to fight or correct those mistakes. Truth be told most of the times the veteran does not even recognize what the mistake is.
Contrary to what most entities will tell you about the first process in filing a claim, I have a bit of a different take on that. Most will tell you that getting your records from the military and getting diagnosis done is the beginning of the initial claim process. I say that you need to start prior to yourself enlisting. What was the reason for your enlistment, how were you mentally before your enlistment, how were you physically before your enlistment and then did anything in your service cause harm to any one of those situations. We are all different individuals that are affected by situations differently than our counterparts. This means that the same incident for one person may have a different effect on another. We as veterans are quick to judge others because of how we dealt with injuries or mental issues and feel it should be the same for our fellow veterans. The process of adjudicating a claim is based off of the evidence presented for that claim and veterans need to understand that their evidence is not equal to another's.
To answer a few of the statements above and the answers to all of these and why those statements were false is the reason for providing this educational course. Keeping in mind that a veteran is entitled to up to just under $9,000 a month without losing a limb, issues of blindness, or being deaf.
- You can file a claim for a pre-existing issue if the military made it worse.
- If you served whatever time in basic training and was injured you can file a claim.
- The one that seems to shock veterans the most is that your injury did not have to occur or be made worse in the military in order for you to file a claim.
There are certain ways that your claim needs to be filed and you must have the conditions necessary in order to get that extra compensation to fall into what we call Beyond the Hundred Club.
The sole purpose of this course is to educate you on resources that you already have at your fingertips and to better understand how the process works and to know when an error or even additional evidence provided by the VA in a denial letter can assist you in getting your claim service connected.
