District Court Denies Social Security Disability Claim
Ms. Norma Jean Garza filed suit against the Social Security Administration in the federal District Court of New Mexico...
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) manages several benefits and services for veterans and their families. There are many benefits available to those who have served our nation. One of these benefits includes disability compensation.
With high denial rates and wordy decision letters, many veterans end up frustrated and disheartened after pursuing the benefits they earned.
Our legal team at Rocky Mountain Disability Law Group is uniquely qualified to assist you in obtaining the benefits you deserve.
Our firm founder, Joseph Whitcomb, is a former Army Ranger who served in Operation Desert Shield and Desert Storm. Our senior attorney for veterans affairs, Ken Enright, is a former artilleryman who served in Operation Iraqi Freedom. Our veterans' disability benefits case managers are veterans. We understand the complexities of the appeals process because we have been through it ourselves.
Joe also represented himself before the Board of Veterans’ Appeals in an appeal that took more than five years. As a result, he learned how unnecessarily complex the VA appeals process was and decided to make representing veterans in this process a priority in his legal practice. As a veteran business owner, Joe also saw an opportunity to help other veteran business owners increase their bottom line. He did this by helping them pursue and win government contracts.
Ken counsels military veterans to help them obtain the VA disability benefits they are entitled to. He provides representation at both the Agency and Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims. Ken also assists clients by providing representation at Board of Veterans’ Appeals hearings.
Rachel proudly served the United States during her time in the U.S. Marine Corps and served overseas in Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF) as an Ordnanceman. Besides helping veterans with their legal claims, Rachel assists with planning a yearly Veterans hike in Milwaukee through “Irreverent Warriors”, an organization aimed at bringing veterans together using humor and camaraderie to improve mental health and prevent veteran suicide. Rachel continues to educate herself on veteran’s issues and is currently researching chemical exposure and its impact on Veteran’s health.
Vicki is empathic to the frustrations felt by those submitting claims and waiting for an answer from the VA. Determined to alleviate these negative feelings, Vicki works diligently to ensure the appropriate and correct forms and paperwork are submitted in a timely manner and presents and argues well-prepared briefs as needed. She utilizes her medical background to understand the terminology of the conditions, symptoms, and treatment documented in service training records and VA medical records. She uses this knowledge to ensure her clients receive the correct disability rating for their claims.
