VA Eliminates Requirement of In-Person Medical Examination in Some Veterans’ Benefit Cases

According to an article by Rick Maze at militarytimes.com, the Department of Veterans Affairs recently made the decision to eliminate the requirement of an in-person medical examination in some cases.  It can often be difficult for veterans to have to schedule another appointment and have to wait for an examination.  The recent change by the VA allows a medical professional to review the veteran’s file and decide if their is already enough evidence of disability in the file to establish entitlement to benefits.

This change is part of a number of recent moves that will hopefully allow the VA to process claims for veterans benefits more quickly.  VA is attempting to improve efficiency so it can cut the average processing time of a claim from 255 days to 125 days by 2015.

I saw Travis on some YouTube videos. It was the way he worded things, I just felt compelled to contact them about my situation, he seemed trustworthy. Travis told me he thought he could help me. I was hesitant, but proceeded. The claim process was long, but my claim was granted. They are organized and punctual. Jessica and Travis are a strong team. I feel the Lord led me to Perkins & Studdard. I consider Travis an advocate and friend. ThanksCorby Reese

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
