Department of Veterans Affairs Reduces Paperwork Burden for Veterans Receiving Benefits

According to an article at stripes.com, veterans received some good news recently when the VA decided to no longer require veterans to complete the annual Eligibility Verification Report.  This report had required veterans to annually complete a form and submit a set of supporting documents to ensure that they did not lose their benefits.  Instead, the VA will now use information from the IRS and Social Security Administration to confirm a veteran’s ongoing eligibility for benefits.

The VA also has indicated that this move will allow them to shift about 100 members of their staff to other areas.  This shift should help reduce the accumulated backlog of VA claims.  This would be good news for veterans since they would no longer encounter as much delay while they wait for a decision after applying for benefits.

I recommend Travis for an Veteran that has been dealing with constant denial with claims. He also , cover cost for my nexus letter when I ran into financial troubles , that helped me win my case.edwin Cook
I highly recommend Travis Studdard to represent anyone looking to help with VA claims. The VA is very difficult to deal with when attempting to get benefits from service connected injuries, at least that's my experience. Travis and his team knows the VA system and the legal procedures to help you get what you deserve. Travis was kind and passionate with me throughout this process and therefore, I highly recommend this law firm to represent DAV's.Terry Hembree

I highly recommend Jason Perkins and the Team at Perkins and Studdard. Jason did a wonderful job on my case and actually got me better results than what I was hoping for. He was always so patient with me and made sure I was understanding every process in my case. He never seemed to mind me asking questions and always gave me straightforward answers. My phone calls to him or his staff were promptly answered or returned and everyone was always so helpful, personable, and respectful. He kept me updated on all the details of my case and sent helpful videos for me to review that were very informative.Dru Vaughn

I could not have asked for a better lawyer to represent my worker comp. case. Any questions I had during the process was always answered in a timely manner. Mr. Perkins really cared about insuring that I wasn't being taken advantage of during this process and helped us reach a settlement that I feel comfortable with. I would recommend this firm to my parents or children.syndel Laber
