Hit a wall with your VA claim—even after submitting an independent medical opinion or nexus letter? VA-accredited attorney Ed Farmer breaks down why the VA sometimes ignores strong medical evidence and what you can do about it. In this episode, Ed walks you through the process of fighting back after a denial, including how to use a Higher Level Review, when to skip the informal conference, and how to craft persuasive written arguments to strengthen your appeal.

You’ll learn exactly how the VA’s “benefit of the doubt” rule works, why the balance of evidence matters, and common pitfalls in both VA and private medical opinions. Ed also shares tips on pushing back if the VA tries to send you for endless exams or claims there’s a “duty to assist” error. Should your case go to the Board of Veterans’ Appeals, you’ll discover why that can sometimes be the best route to success.

If you’re tired of feeling stuck in the claims process, this episode gives you practical strategies—and the power—to move your case forward.
