A fellow veteran is encouraging me to file a VA claim so I'm here looking to get educated first so I can set myself up for success. Thank you for being out here providing us with the information we need.

[lalonniebell]

Hello, I am a new VSO and subbed your channel a few months ago. Not only have you helped me help other veterans.... You helped me with my own claim! I finally got adjudicated on SOME contentions after 320 days (from my file date not the ITF). I'm not 100% yet but hopefully soon. To all your subscribers or anyone watching.... please know that not even VSOs have a magic portal to get claims processed faster. Patience and BEING EDUCATED is KEY!!🔑 Thank you for all you are doing to help Veterans👍

[Familyman-]

I learned the hard way early on. I retired in 2004 at 80%. Barely went to my appointments eventually I got reduced to 60%! I wasn’t educated! That was a bad experience. I am currently 100% P&T for 6yrs now. I will let other vets know about this YouTube channel so they want experience what I did.

[Grim_Blah]

This is crucial information. I didn't properly educate myself and went for an increase about 6 months prior to my 5 year window. I am pretty sure they will come up with something to reduce me, but I know now. It's the little things like this that make a world of difference. Keep it up because we need to understand the game in order to play it.

[TheIntimidatr]

Once you get 100% T&P... STFU and enjoy it. DO NOT file anymore claims or appeals. If you do, you've opened yourself up to a complete review.

At 100% T&P... you are 100% covered by the VA for EVERYTHING... even dental and eye care.

Simply outstanding, Dewayne! I am happy all of my claims are 5 years (1 claim) to over 20 years old.

[JamesHarris-rlzj]

Dewayne Sir, there are a lot of VA rating videos out there. And it's difficult to sort through what is good and what is not good. I have found that all of the info you are providing is trustworthy and you are 100% genuine. Thanks for taking the time to produce these exceptionally well-done videos and breaking it down and making it simple for the masses. You are a blessing.

[IAMOUTOF]

Thank you for the education Sir bc I just got my disability approved in October of last year with one c&p and then a month later they sent me to another c & p exam, then I got a letter saying the VA was gonna reduce my percentage due to improvement in my condition, now I have a Higher level review scheduled for later this month to try to stop the V.A. from reducing my benefits.

[Hobie-Juan_Kenobi]

So thankful for your informative and educational content. Thank you Dewayne.

[tonyjones]

This is GOLD! I just got assessed at a total of 70% for foot conditions and PTSD in 2023 so it might be a bit early to go for a raise…but this info is still good to know!

[salvatoremangiameli]

Im 100% sc. Tot an perm. Because of guys like u. So thank. You my brother an welcome home. Sal

[DavidReyes-isvs]

I would just be careful on using the medical from the V.A. I know it’s very helpful with certain things, but I would stick to my private doctors because their word is bond. Unfortunately the V.A. is full of foreign doctors that think they can cure you of everything. They’re not your friends. Especially all of the nurse practitioners that are used at their hospitals, but this information was definitely helpful. Thank you. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[Mr.W]

1. Get the ratings code sheet
2. Find the effective dates for your disability
3. Wait for 5 years before you have the C&P examination - don’t do the exam within the 5 year window, do it outside of the 5-yr window.

Yes it’s confusing.

[steventhomas]

Outstanding presentation I always look forward to watching all your videos your consummate professional and you have all sides you've been to the VA US army anyway I enjoy watching you and I hope to always be able to see new things that you come about because you tell what it's like up front

[helenpee]

Thanks for the education!! I got your book 1yr ago, read it and submitted, I’m now 80% sc.

[michaelsheppard]

I enjoy your videos and encourage others to watch. I know the code sheet was an example and just an oversight but 70% +50% +50% is 90%. (93 hard number which rounds down).

[Missblaak]

55 AND OVER…..Add this to your VA Form 21-4138 “I am age 55 or older. Should my recent VA examination show some improvement in my condition, please consider this improvement has not incurred under the ordinary circumstances of life, to include fulltime employment. Sustained improvement may not have been definitively established. Consider no reduction. (38 CFR 3.327, 38 CFR 3.344)”

[liveglobal]

Another gold nugget!!! Mr. Kimble, I appreciate your help, sir.
