In a recent triumph for justice, Disability Law Group proudly shines a spotlight on Partner Mandy Kelly’s extraordinary success in securing four years of retroactive benefits for a 96-year-old World War II veteran. This heartwarming victory unveils the challenges faced by veterans of that era, particularly the obstacles encountered in obtaining their rightful benefits.
The Case:
The 96-year-old World War II veteran, despite demonstrating valor in his service, encountered difficulties accessing the benefits rightfully owed to him. Veterans from this generation often faced challenges in seeking treatment, resulting in undiagnosed conditions later used against them in benefit claims.
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) emerged as a significant factor in this case. Many WWII veterans, lacking proper treatment or diagnosis, found themselves without the necessary evidence to support benefit claims. The VA had denied the veteran’s PTSD claim, citing a lack of medical documentation—a consequence of the veteran’s struggle to access treatment during a time of limited mental health awareness.
Our Attorney’s Dedication:
Partner Mandy Kelly, a fervent advocate for veterans’ rights, accepted the challenge. Recognizing the unjust denial, she went above and beyond to assist the veteran in obtaining a private medical evaluation. This evaluation contradicted the VA’s stance, providing crucial evidence of the veteran’s PTSD that had gone unrecognized for decades.
The Victory:
Mandy Kelly’s unwavering commitment to justice paid off, as Disability Law Group successfully secured four years of retroactive benefits for the 96-year-old veteran. This victory not only acknowledges the veteran’s sacrifices but also establishes a precedent for challenging systemic barriers faced by many World War II veterans in their pursuit of rightful benefits.
