Attorney Review

After having my claim with the V.A. for service connected disability for my MDS (Myelodyplastic Syndrome) denied by the V.A., I contacted Joel M. Ban about appealing their decision. He immediately went to work appealing their decision. After several months the V,A, again denied my claim. I was read...y to give up but Mr. Ban told me how things worked in this process, so we continued on Mr Ban filed an appeal with the Veterans Court of Appeals in Washington D.C.. After a review of my claim they ruled in my favor. They directed the V.A. regional office to evaluate my claim and award appropriate Compensation. They promptly awarded me 100% Service Connected Disability. Without the help and dedication of Mr. Ban to pursue my claim I would have given up. I highly recommend Mr. Ban for any law assistance in this type of situation.
