Board of Veterans' Appeals

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?

Denis Misses Final Lesson; Pickin’ & Grinnin’ in Minneapolis

Denis Misses Final Lesson; Pickin’ & Grinnin’ in Minneapolis
Apr 11, 2025

Out with Denis, in with Douglas. What a year this has been. It seems like just last week we were still exploding over Mat Gaetz being nominated for AG. I have done this work under different presidents. One thing that is consistent about the VA is how inconsistent it is, and can it screw up anything, regardless of who occupies the White House. My only regret from McDonough’s tenure is that he departed while a final lesson I had was pending. Oh well, I still got to do some pickin’ and grinnin’, recently with the best VA advocates in the Nation. We still have the same consensus: The VA is still the VA, and that isn’t changing anytime soon.

Hometown Heroes: Featuring Senior Airman Michael J. Buras
Dec 24, 2024

Its hard to believe how fast this year has been. It seems like just last week, I was writing about Thanksgiving. Christmas always comes as a time of reflection, of what we have accomplished within the past year. It also comes as a time to gather with family, laugh with loved ones, and glare from the window as your family’s version Cousin Eddie pulls in the driveway. For others, its a time to remember loved ones. The Buras family is no exception. This Christmas, I would like to introduce the Hometown Heroes series. Our featured hero comes from my hometown, Senior Airman Michael J. Buras.

VA Benefits for Camp Lejeune Family Members?

If you ever hear someone tell you they know everything about the VA, you can safely grab your hat and head for the door. The VA is the second largest federal agency, soon to surpass the size of the DoD. There are literally hundreds of benefit programs available. Programs range from disability compensation, education benefits, to home loans. Are they all limited to Veterans? What about Camp Lejeune family members? One thing I love about this job is the number of niche areas within an already niche area of law. The Camp Lejeune Family Member Program is one of those. One I had no idea about.

I began pestering Annette just before Thanksgiving for some pictures of her and Monte. When I explained what I was up to, she said she didn’t mind if I used their names. I was delighted. The amount of lives you touch doing this grows rapidly. It always brings me joy to share some of these stories. You heard my side of representing Annette in my Thanksgiving post. Now, Annette gives us “the rest of the story”.

It’s hard to believe another year has almost came and went. Another year representing the best people America has to offer. For me, I still get that same sense of awe and wonder. The fact that I am allowed to represent so many fine Veterans, widows, and families, across the country, brings me so much joy. Each with a unique story. This Thanksgiving, I have been able to help make one wife’s Thanksgiving a little bit easier.

BVA Declares War on Most Severe Veterans

VA Idiocracy

The best quality decision from the VA comes from the Board of Veterans’ Appeals. The downside? The wait time usually spans multiple years. To fix this, Congress allowed certain Veterans to ask for “advancement”, getting their case placed at the top of the line. Today, I will discuss the Board’s recent war on the bankrupt, dying, and seriously ill Veterans.

When I met Denise, she had one of the oldest appeals within the VA. Frankly, I didn’t believe a lot of what she was telling me. That is, until I began to see for myself the endless state of denials she had been in. This story takes you through my representation of her and ultimately, victory.
