Mr. Huffman is a wonderful person, he helped me so much, I don’t know what I would have done with out him , I fought VA for 4 years 3 months after meeting with him I had my benefits started.
This could be a good thing if he could serve the thousands of vets without having an overload of cases that get stacked on top of each other and possibly overlooked.
This is better then sitting at the VA office at 6am to get in line to see the one down there thanks for the updated info .
Thats nice the VA has given me the run around for years. It dont matter who they present to serve the vets, they are told what they will not do and the gentlemen will not cross that line.
25 years and treated like something that starts with a capital S and ends with a T
Government spends more money on Vets PR than helping
Loser operation and lies
I wish I had known this before filing an appeal on my claim. Good to know going forward.
Thank God!! Been trying to get help for my uncle since 2013 !!
did not know about this service. it’s good to know.
Andy is the real deal, his knowledge of the system is second to none.
