In this episode, Leah, discusses when to hire a VA disability attorney with Rebecca Deming, an accredited VA attorney from ProVet Legal. Rebecca shares her journey into VA law and explains that while veterans can file claims on their own or with the help of a Veteran Service Organization (VSO), attorneys can be essential when claims are complex or denied. She emphasizes that VA attorneys must be accredited and do not charge for assisting with initial claims, but typically charge a contingency fee of 20-33% on back pay for successful appeals. Rebecca also highlights the importance of seeking legal advice early in the process to avoid complicating a case and stresses the value of working with experienced, dedicated VA attorneys.
