The Situation
Robert separated from the Marine Corps in 2016 with a 10% VA disability rating. Like many veterans, he accepted the decision and never filed for additional conditions or requested an increase.
Years later, he noticed that several Marines from his platoon—who had experienced the same Humvee rollover during deployment—had received disability ratings of 90% or even 100%.
That realization made him wonder whether his own disabilities had ever been fully evaluated.
The VetRECCE Review
Robert completed a comprehensive VetRECCE Claim Intelligence Review to better understand his disability picture.
During the review, we identified several conditions, medical evidence, and service-related events that had not been fully developed or previously claimed.
Instead of filing blindly, Robert built a more complete, evidence-based claim supported by his military and medical records.
The Outcome
Following the submission of his updated claim, Robert's VA disability rating increased from 10% to 90%.
For the first time since leaving the military, he felt his service-connected disabilities were more accurately reflected.
Life After 90%
Reaching 90% significantly changed Robert's financial situation.
His increased monthly VA compensation provided greater financial stability and opened the door to additional federal and state veteran benefits based on his rating and eligibility.
More importantly, he finally understood his complete disability picture and the benefits available to him.
Robert's Thoughts
"For years I thought 10% was just what I deserved. Seeing other Marines from the same Humvee rollover receive much higher ratings made me realize I needed to take another look at my claim. VetRECCE helped me understand what had been overlooked and gave me the confidence to move forward."
