Thousands of veterans are working hard while ignoring the benefits that could change their financial future overnight. VA attorney and disabled veteran Todd Wesche helps service members secure the VA disability compensation they earned. Veterans who think “I can still work, so I am not disabled” may be walking past seven figures of tax free, protected income over time. In clear, plain language Todd explains ratings, claims, and appeals so veterans can turn tinnitus, sinusitis, back pain, anxiety, PTSD, flat feet, and service-connected scars into real monthly compensation and long term financial stability.

In this Veterans Day episode, John and Todd cover what actually qualifies as a disability today, how the 0 to 100 percent rating scale pays, why your income does not affect compensation, and how to start with an intent to file. You will learn the simple blue line scan to identify claimable conditions, when to seek an increase or appeal, how retroactive pay works, and why Permanent and Total status can unlock additional benefits. They also map the opportunity cost of waiting, including how consistent, tax free payments can fund debt payoff, a business launch, or long term savings.
