By helping my friends and reading, a lot of reading, I am now able to share my knowledge and experience with the Veteran community.

How This Veteran EASILY Went From 90% To 100% VA Disability
Mental health VA disability claims are extremely common and increases are extremely easy...as long as the veteran has the evidence. There is a reason VA disability claims consulting companies are so successful (many reasons but we will only cover this one) and it's because increases are the way to 100% P&T. This veteran was clearly under-rated and you will that become evident during the 1-on-1 that is pinned below in the comment section.

Here is thought for all you young Vets! Get a job like us older Vets and be productive contributing citizens! All these videos telling you to go get 💯 percent! The greatest generation didn’t freeload and believe me they had it way worse than most of Us who fought in combat! They didn’t want or expect a free ride through life! Keep this up and there won’t be anything left for any of Us!!!
Gray beard…veterans with 100% P&T can still work a full-time job. In fact, most do. VA compensation is not equivalent to SSD. Also, I wouldn’t discount the warriors of today and much respect to those that have gone before us. Take care. - Clay
@@TheCivDiv You just made my point! If you’re okay to work a full time job and have a great career! Then why take advantage of something that Vets was intended for Vets that can’t do that need! It wasn’t started for folks that can hold full time jobs!
@@7n4163 Brother, allow me the opportunity to explain. When a service is injured (especially after a 20+yr war) they, and their family will have to deal with whatever that injury is for the rest of their life. The VA, is in charge of proving healthcare and benefits to veterans. It turns out, that when a claim is adjudicated with evidence from service, a current and chronic diagnosis, and a medical opinion from a medical professional linking the condition to service, then that veteran will be service connected and receive compensation. So yes, that veteran may be working but you can bet your bottom dollar his spouse and children all suffer from his PTSD symptoms and some cases are more severe than others. That deserves compensation and that's not an opinion, this has been passed by our legislative process. - Clay
Can we cut welfare payments to people who have been receiving benefits for generations and do nothing for themselves. Stop giving millions to immigrants and Ukraine.
Awesome…one more thing to worry about

Does anyone really think those people, who've never fought in a war, had life easy, and who have sold off the country has any compassion for vets? Interesting that they allow all of these illegals in here and there's money for them🤔. How are you saving money by adding a bunch of unvetted strangers into the load. But American citizens are somehow a problem. Those people appear to have no good intentions for the citizens of this country. I could be wrong. Those disability categories are concerning to me as well. #45 pretends not to know anything about all of this.
Long story short you don’t have to worry about compensation Trump and Vance will end it and u get nothing
From my understanding, as long as your health issues occurred in service and you didn't get anything from the pact act, you will be okay. That is if he even implements 2025. It sucks for sure that someone even suggested it.
Damn! I have severe bruxism! And I currently have a HLR duty to assist for PTSD/depression/anxiety! Damn I should have filed BRUXISM! SMDH!
Thank God, I had my VSO do everything for me. He did all the work that a lawyer would’ve screwed me over on out of the goodness of his heart. I’ve heard some horrible stories about lawyers taking advantage of veterans. Thank you for exposing this.
I went from 80% to 100% P&T TDIU. Total of two claims. I have Parkinson's and was stationed at Camp Lejeune.
Would like to claim this not sure how. Had both of those surgeries. Ulnar and carpal tunnel .
Awesome follow up video.

My buddy was in boot camp with him and we all ended up in the 2nd air wing division together
I was wondering if you could assist with a question, since you seem very knowledgeable in this area. If I upload 4 pages (copies) from my original military medical book on an ongoing condition that took forever for the clinic and hospital to resolve related to respiratory and bronchitis will this hold a lot of weight with my first and only claim? This dates back to 1996 and they took forever to treat it and I continued to have this illness. This was over a span of 3 consecutive months long and similar symptoms 5 months prior. Then also having my current primary care doctor writing a document with my current condition related to these symptoms years ago where it appears to be service connected. I will also upload this letter/document too. What are your thoughts for getting VA Medical benefits approved? I use a preventative inhaler for asthma and this is prescribed by my primary physician as well as a rescue inhaler if ever needed. Any suggestions or assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
Long story short, I have been service connected for GAD, C&P examiner states I have anxiety, panic attacks weekly, sleep impermanent, difficulty with mood and motivation, difficulty establishing social and work, difficulty adapting to stress including social and work along with general anxiety. Any thought what rating they may give?
This statement doesn’t make sense. You’ll need to look here www.ecfr.gov/current/title-38/chapter-I/part-4/subpart-B/subject-group-ECFRfa64377db09ae97/section-4.130 or on your completed DBQ to find that answer. - Clay

Sorry I missed your livestream, Clay but I appreciate you! Has anyone ever heard of going from 50% for mental health (static) to 70% mental health (not static)? Just curious if this would even be possible as I am currently submitting an increase for mental health. Thank you!
Nope, never heard of it. Highly unlikely as if your static condition is getting worse - it’ll likely stay static. - Clay

when you say at risk what does that mean
It means what the VA Press Sec said in the article. I wouldn’t put words in the VAs mouth about this issue - Clay
Oh joy more pointless fear mongering
Im really sorry for those veterans who have real issues and put their trust in companies that defrauded the government. Now those veterans will be dragged through the mud and potentially lose their disability compensation through no fault of their own.
How do I get a 1 on 1 ? I’m at 88% I’ve got a lot of issues and some special circumstances.
Is the convention free and do you have to pre register to get seen and adjudicated ? I have an imo and got diagnosed for MDD,GAD and panic disorder that meets the 70% criteria I got denied for service connection for PTSD close to a year ago but I have the imo nexus and submitted a supplemental claim for those conditions that stems from my 50% sleep apnea 10% tinnitus 30% headaches but in progress to get increased to 50% and my back pain in which I’m at 0% .. do you think in. So I’m no longer seeking ptsd but those mental health conditions that I’m now diagnosed with through private .. what are you thoughts on going to convention to get adjudication for my increase for headaches and the INDEPENDENT IMO?!

I am a veteran and an attorney, so I take offense to your remarks, not all attorney's are snakes. Check yourself.
Unfortunately, not all lawyers are in the same league. Your profile says you are a real estate agent first and then a lawyer. Mass Tort Plaintiff Attorneys are at the top of the food chain. I wouldn't expect you to understand. Google "Lasorsa v Bell" to see the case for yourself.
Did you watch the video? This isn’t attorneys in regard to VA disability. More so what the video refers to…or are you agreeing that the scams are justifiable? - Clay
So then, join the fight rather than act offended and run your mouth through a keyboard. Check your chin
