Jeffrey Bellomo sits down with Rebecca Deming, CEO and Principal Attorney at ProVet Legal, to discuss how the firm helps veterans get the full range of VA benefits that they have earned. 

The team at ProVet Legal is experienced at resolving administrative snags, locating hard-to-find evidence, and tackling legal complexities at the state and federal levels. In addition to serving veterans across the United States and overseas, the team also serves military spouses and surviving dependents.  

The VA disability designations can have significant long-range implications for a veteran and his or her dependents. Rebecca explains the disability ratings, some unexpected factors that can cause a claim to be denied, and the challenges in documenting service-related injuries and conditions. 

Rebecca is an accredited attorney with the Veterans Benefits Administration and has managed hundreds of VA disability appeals. If you or someone you know is struggling with a VA benefits claim or appeal, visit https://provetlegal.com/ or call 727-339-7911 for a free consultation.
