thank you sweet man for your kind words...
You all did much more for us... So, i don't feel special or anything.. I just feel like I want to help when i can...
It is true... the VA has a record of denying claims that have accompanying buddy letters...
the claim i presented had around 15 or so... One being from a Veteran who actually saw my Daddy standing within feet from the perimeter every day..
so, with that said... when i reviewed the VA appeals site... I seen several citations denied WITH buddy statements...
I also read some of the citations where the Veteran had proof of boots on ground... and the VA still had a way to deny some of those claims too!
go on there and type in Vietnam boots on ground.... look at the denials!!!
So, i guess my point is.. if the claim is denied even with buddy statements .. it is not uncommon.. so I do not want that to discourage the Veteran from taking that same info. to the next stage or appeal..
the claim i worked with was denied, a reconsideration was submitted, the denied again..
The same claim was approved.... and guess why?
For the buddy letters that I had gathered... The very same buddy letters that were submitted for the claim to begin with...
So, i guess that is what i was also trying to convey... Also, I have heard good and bad about all kinds of VSO's .... and lawyers too...
the reason I speak so highly of the one i worked with is because he is super awesome and has done amazing things for alot of Veterans.
anyway.. please let me know if you could use some maps,pictures or would like to know of some other sites i go to ...
susie
