Thank you so much, Coach Kimberly and VACI!
I started this journey about 3 yrs ago. My first claim for PTSD took 2 1/2 years to accomplish and I was only rated at 30%. I had no idea what I was doing at the time, which is why things didn't go well. Through my Vet Center Councilor I had learned of the VA Claims Insider group. I contacted them and was matched with Coach Kimberly. In the last couple of months of me being educated and guided on how to proceed, I have filed claims that have increased my overall rating from 30% to 90%, with my last claim only taking 5 days! They are very well informed on how to proceed with the VA and have the resources available to help anyone succeed. This investment will affect the rest of my life. The battle isn't quite over. I still have that last 10% to get, but I believe we will be successful. And for the first time in many years, I have hope for the future. And for that alone, I am eternally grateful for all the help I have received from Kimberly.
