The Veterans Consortium Pro Bono Program Training
Program Overview:
The Honorable Margaret Bartley, Chief Judge of the United States Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims, welcomed attendees and offer opening remarks.
This two-hour training, led by TVC attorneys, taught you how to help veterans appeal unfavorable rulings by the US Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). These appeals involved a wide range of VA disability, educational assistance, and survivor benefit and pension benefit claims. Veterans come to TVC because a claim has been denied, or their disability compensation has been reduced or terminated.
