Combat Related Special Compensation Board: Any advice?

Submit names of others that worked with you. If they witnessed the incident or suffered similar injuries, it will bolster your claim.

So I have already applied and submitted every bit of paperwork I could get my hands on, several physician notes, evals to prove where I was, even qual certs....I got a letter of denial a few weeks ago but I plan to appeal. I've heard from some sea lawyers that they often deny the initial application in hopes people will simply give up....well that's not in me, but it asks for new evidence, and perhaps I overlooked something, so if anybody has any ideas I'm all ears. Thanks!

You need buddy letters and any information that puts you in combat area that would relate to your injuries. Do not give up l have been fighting for proper compensation for over 12 years. They tend to give alittle at a time and you need to fight for higher once you get it approved
