In this Video Marc Whitehead, an Accredited Veterans Disability Attorney, explains how unfavorable compensation and pension evaluations can be overturned.
In a recent decision for a Veterans Disability Claimant the Law Office of Marc Whitehead was able to win service connected benefits for a client for his depression as it relates to a service connected knee and heart condition. But this was only the beginning.
Our Firm worked diligently to review the entire claim, down to the smallest detail. By doing so our Attorneys were able to convince the court of Veterans Appeals to remand the decision made by the board of Veterans Advocates by pointing out that the compensation and pension or C & P Evaluation was not complete.
This notice of the incomplete C & P evaluation caused the board to remand the case to the regional office for an explanation. Ultimately, a new C & P was completed. After the new C & P evaluation concluded, the board found that our clients combined disabilities warranted a 100% disability rating. Which gave him a finding of individual unemployability. In other words, they found him totally disabled and awarded him maximum allowable monthly benefits. They were also able to get his effective date pushed back many years. Meaning we got over $200,000 is retroactive benefits.
This is a perfect example of how the diligence and continued pursuit of your benefits by an experienced Veterans Disability Attorney can greatly increase your chances of a positive outcome.
