VA Claims Insider Testimonial: Elite Success Story
Don’s been through a lot. He’s battled medical issues for years, and the Air Force veteran was pretty sure he was underrated by the VA.
When he signed up for the ELITE program at VA Claims Insider in 2021, he wasn’t sure what to expect. After all, he’d tried to get correctly rated in the past.
It turned out to be one of the best decisions he could’ve made. Six months after joining VA Claims Insider, the VA awarded him a disability rating of 100% permanent and total.
It’s been nearly 30 years since Don left the Air Force due to medical issues. A heavy equipment operator, he developed extreme back pain during his deployment in Desert Storm. He underwent major back surgery that left him in a brace for six months. He was only 28 years old.
Don also underwent sinus surgery while in the Air Force. But the operation left him with unresolved sinus issues (including constant infections and splitting headaches) that needed to be surgically repaired more than a decade later.
To add to his injuries, Don has undergone multiple knee surgeries. He also has fibromyalgia, sleep apnea, and chronic fatigue syndrome.
Given the number and severity of his issues, you’d think that getting rated properly would be easy for someone like Don.
It wasn’t.
The turning point would be when he joined the ELITE program at VA Claims Insider and began learning how to navigate the often-confusing VA disability system.
“Before joining VA Claims Insider, nobody told me where to go or what to do. And nobody told me about the secondary claims. I just didn’t know.”
Don leaned on his veteran coach for advice. She explained the ins and outs of the process and helped Don map out his strategy.
Weeks after filing his newest claims in December of 2021, Don received an email from the VA showing him that money had been added to his bank account. He was so excited that he immediately called his coach to express his gratitude.
“I’m thankful and excited. I’m finally getting what I deserve.”
Don advises other veterans like him to get their medical history documented.
“If you’re having issues, don’t hold back. The more documentation you have about your issues, the better. And don’t throw away anything that you get from the VA.”
Don is grateful for all the help he received from VA Claims Insider. He’s an ELITE example of how it’s never too late to take action and get the VA rating you deserve.
