The thought occurred to me that many folks that are not veterans don't understand the process that Veterans go through to secure benefits when they have a service-connected disability. One way that I thought might help broaden the understanding of non-Veterans might be to create a Blog Diary of one veteran's struggles to apply for and receive benefits.
After thinking about this for a while, I decided to go ahead and see if there are any veterans who are interested in participating in this experience. If you are a veteran who has not yet made an original claim to the VA, please contact us if you would be interested in participating in this experience.
As we progress through the claims process together, both of us would describe our experience with the process in regular blog postings. Here are some basic ground rules of the process:
- The veteran could remain completely anonymous or use a pseudonym (your choice);
- The veteran would have to agree to regular posts which would be submitted to the Firm, and posted after editing for grammar, spelling, etc.
- The Firm would represent the Veteran pro-bono through the entire claims process, whether it takes 5 weeks or 5 years
- We would prefer a Veteran returning from Iraq or Afghanistan, to begin to highlight some of the great difficulties that lie ahead for our latest generation of returning soldiers.
