Testimonials
I can’t say enough positive things. I am not sure I’ve ever met someone so knowledgeable and competent in their field. If you feel like you are entitled to VA benefits but getting them is impossible, It’s not, you just don’t have the right person in your corner fighting for you. Wes is that person
Just finished a 3 year battle with the VA and was at the point of quitting after several appeals and denials. I had the great fortune of running into Mr. McCauley and he helped me go from 10% to 80% disability. He was amazing and kept me in touch every step of the way. He successfully filed a HLR appeal and presented an argument for my case and we finally had success. I’m still in disbelief but it’s true.
Wesley is an Accredited “Angel.” He filed my HLR, had the informal conference (I neither had to be present nor did I want to be), did what he does best in the background, and in a very reasonable time frame, I had my grant of 50% OSA Secondary to Service-connected PTSD, where I was previously denied. Before I connected with Wes, I was at my wits end. Someone asked me, “Why not a VSO and why United Veteran’s Disability, LLC?” Easy. I firmly believe entrepreneurs work harder. The more productive they are, the more profitable they are and that’s a good thing. Productive people ought to be paid for their services. VSOs can be great, but I found many to be overloaded and under-motivated. Just my opinion. But, back to United Veteran’s Disability, LLC. One word…AMAZING. If you decide to utilize this service, as with any, be patient. Wesley and team will take care of the persistence. From there, wait and don’t worry. You’ll know as much as you need to know., Wes, as you always sign off…Godspeed, sir. And from me and my family, blessings to you and yours!

Wesley is the way to increasing your disability claims. He is [patient], honest, and will keep you up-to-date along the process. I am happy with the process of working with him. He displayed a genuine concern for helping veterans to maximize their benefits.
Wes was great. Helped me with things I couldn’t get done on my own. Very communicative and knowledgeable and would gladly recommend to everyone.
The Board has been cranking out decisions like a pasta machine on steroids. Sounds nice enough? The problem? They forgot to mix the dough first, forgot the eggs, and neglected to reference the cook book first. What they’ve thrown in the oven is a mixed bag of decisions. Now don’t get me wrong, there have been some good decisions, but two I got this week were like half-baked lasagna. Burnt and crispy on the outside, cold and wet in the middle. I guess they are worried about their annual report to Congress this year. Maybe Elon has been hanging out at Central Office?
