John says Ray is out chasing the American Dream on the road. He may call in so we shouldn’t rule him out. The show will focus on the quickest way to win your claim as rapidly as possible in the new “Hurry up and slow down” AMA. Well, let’s say I’m going to show you how I’m doing it these days anyway. I’m sure every other agent and attorney has a similar schtick or maybe not. Who knows? I’ve met some attorneys who fly from Seattle to New York via Tokyo on the client’s dime so it would be pure conjecture to say they never let the moss grow under their legal shoes.

I’d like to tell you about the upcoming demise of Veterans Guardian™, VA Claims Insider™ and the rest of those pay through the nose outfits. Their method certainly works for some folks who are megabusy but the law is the law. The Statute says no more than 33 percent if it’s complicated and 20% if you want VA to collect it. There isn’t any provision for 500 times the amount of the increase times six months.

I’d like to discuss the hows, whys and needs for an Independent Medical Opinion. There seems to be a wealth of confusion on the subject. Ask yourself why you should pay $10,000 dollars for one if you only require an IMO for one single disability?

And lastly, I’d like to clear up the confusion regarding the VA’s Microsoft Excel Worksheet I published this spring. Rarely have I seen such a purposeful misconstrual of the information I presented. Well, either that or Alzheimer’s has finally arrived for a certain unhappy camper. I publish this comment I found on the open internet last week (unredacted below) exactly as I found it on the website of a law firm here in Seattle. They were the local lead legal outfit for the Veterans Service Organization which sued me back in 2015. This gal is not only way off base as to the identity of “Deep Throat” but mistakenly believes all the doctors listed are the crème de la crème in the IMO world and above reproach. Well… except for that one doctor whose license was revoked. She didn’t have any explanation for that outlier nor would I expect one. Makes you wonder if they’ve discovered a way to change water to wine up in Cohocton, NY. I can’t make this stuff up.
