How the internet can help a Veteran’s Disability Claim
Vets are, at times, denied, their disability because of the failure to provide a medical link between their current disability and an incident that arose during service. Some times, obtaining this evidence can be very difficult. I have found that one tool that is often overlooked is the use of the internet in assisting veterans with their disability claims.
TBI in Veterans Disability Cases
TBI—Traumatic Brain Injury is gaining more ground in terms of its detection and treatment. It used to be when someone spoke of a brain injury, images of the most serious situations arose. However, as we progress in our understanding of science, it is clear that TBI can arise in situations where it doesn’t even seem to be evident. TBI doesn’t always mean the serious brain injuries that leave one a vegetative state. TBI occurs when there are concussions or any other force applied to the brain. TBI can arise from car accidents, hard jolts or even sporting activities. That is why it is very important to understand TBI and make sure that you adequately raise and prove your TBI in your veterans disability case.
The VA is taking steps to help veterans by recognizing different situations in which TBI can arise. I would not do it justice to try and delineate the details of the new information being disseminated by the VA regarding TBI. That is why I want to encourage you to click on this link to learn more about the steps the VA is taking to help fight against this horrible disability known as TBI: http://www.va.gov/opa/pressrel/pressrelease.cfm?id=2410

What is Service Connection in a Veterans Disability Case
Many veterans fail in their claims for disability for one simple reason: they fail to establish service connection. What is service connection, however?

It is impossible to describe all circumstances giving rise to service connection but here are a few tips that our firm uses in helping our veterans establish service connection.
The Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims
I took a brief break from writing this blog. This break was due to me attending the Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims conference in Washington D.C. At the conference I learned a great deal about the current trends in disability law. As such, I thought I would briefly explain the entire appeal process for a veterans’ disability issue. By understanding the process, one can pinpoint where the strengths of your case are best brought to light.
How to get out of Paying Child Support
Child support is an obligation that parents owe to their children. There are times, however, when parents find themselves in a difficult situation and owing back child support obligations. At times like that, it is important to understand that there different way to get out of paying the back child support, and they are all legal.
Who gets to Claim the Child for Tax Purposes?

We are often called by both men and women who want to know what the rule is on this matter. While there is no bright line rule there are some important tips for determining who gets to claim the child for tax purposes
Effective Date of VA Disability Claim
I am often approached by Vets who are trying to ascertain how far back their claims for disability should go. For many vets, they have fought for years and years with the VA in order to make any progress on their disability claim. However, when they receive the disability they are shocked and perplexed by the effective date of their claims. While many vets believe that their claims should go back for years and years they are often met with the harsh reality that they only have a claim dating back just a few months. Why is that? It boils down to the effective date of their VA disability claim.
