Learn the two Federal Circuit cases that protect lay evidence in VA disability claims—and how to use them to win more claims for veterans. This 30-minute webinar teaches VSOs the legal standards governing lay evidence, why VA's boilerplate rejections are often illegal, and the practical four-step toolkit for drafting credible, competent statements that survive scrutiny. See real examples of weak versus strong lay evidence, learn how to identify red flags signaling legal error, and get language you can use immediately in higher-level reviews and supplemental claims.

Perfect for Veterans Service Officers, claim agents, and advocates who want to maximize lay evidence in initial claims and recognize when to escalate to attorneys for Board or CAVC appeal.
