Video Description

In our experience, we have learned the value of Lay Evidence. Frequently, Veterans discount Lay Evidence and don’t think the VA will pay attention to this information. In our experience, it can be very helpful to provide lay evidence to explain your story. The VA does look carefully at any Lay evidence provided and take it into consideration when determining your disability.
