Reductions in Compensation Averted

Senior Veteran Service Officer Danielle Fischer was able to secure a 100% permanent and total rating for five different veterans in a single month. Three of the veterans in question had received proposals from the VA to significantly reduce their monthly compensation, and after working on claims packages, Fischer was able to help the veterans not only secure the same compensation rates, but also take advantage of additional benefits going forward. Among the five veterans she helped last July, three received retroactive payments of $10,358, $12,000 and $47,649, respectively.
