The Honorable Margaret Bartley, Chief Judge of the United States Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims, will welcome attendees and offer opening remarks.
This two-hour training, led by TVC attorneys, will teach you how to help veterans appeal unfavorable rulings by the US Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). These appeals involve a wide range of VA disability, educational assistance and survivor benefit and pension benefit claims. Veterans come to TVC because a claim has been denied, or their disability compensation has been reduced or terminated.
Following the training, you will have access to TVC’s website of available cases. These cases offer great opportunities to partner with colleagues or clients. For approximately (40) hours per case, you will gain valuable first chair and appellate experience, while helping to further TVC’s mission.
This webinar is complimentary, and continuing legal education credit for 2.0 hours is pending.
