I have used this group for the past several years. They have helped me with my veterans benefits. Dawson Rouse and Heather Dropp are both excellent and very knowledgeable with veterans benefits. Heather is the paralegal handling my case and has been highly motivated and is a high speed individual. She is a go getter and always thinks several steps ahead for veterans she is helping. You won’t go wrong with choosing them to handle your veterans benefits.

The hits just keep on coming!!! I cannot express enough just how valuable and thorough the team of Dawson Rouse and Heather Dropp have been. Not only did they work tirelessly to ensure I received every bit of my 100% disability rating, but they went above and beyond to ensure I received every penny of compensation I was due, both presently, and backpay. My life has been changed all because I decided to call on MRSB to represent me after the VA had denied every single claim. I'm proud to not only call them my legal team, but also my family, which is EXACTLY what Heather and Dawson make you feel like. If there was an award for legal team of century, assuredly, Heather and Dawson would stand atop the podium!! DO NOT HESITATE!! CALL THEM AND LET THEM CHANGE YOUR LIFE TOO!!!

After I was denied disability for hip replacement I had just about given up. I saw an ad for MRSB and decided I had nothing to lose. After talking to Heather Dropp (MRSB Paralegal), I was more confident something could be done. It’s taken a while, but, because of the effort by Heather and Guy Rouse, I have 30% disability for my hip replacement and they found other service connected issues we are filing claims for as well. A bit of advice…before you give up on your denied claim, give MRSB a chance to look into it. They’re very knowledgeable and they work for veterans. MRSB will give you 100%.

Morgan and Dawson were very helpful and reassuring to my mother and I. They helped us through the appeal process and are still helping us. The firm truly cares about our veterans and the families. I highly recommend them to anyone needing help with a VA claim.

I had a VA disability claim in the system for two-plus years. Since I filed my claim, I experienced errors, mistakes, duplication of mistakes and many delays from the VA. I contacted MRS&B. Their team worked with me and supported me and kept me abreast of the events to bring my claim to closure. They exceeded my expectations for support. Thank You Kristen, Morgan and Dawson for your efforts. This was a great team effort!

EFP Roadside Bomb Injuries

Act Today Against Those Who Chose to Fund Terrorism

Our Attorneys Proudly Fight for Those Who Were Sadly Injured by EFP Roadside Bombs while Serving Our Country.
Some of the deadliest attacks against the U.S. military in Iraq and Afghanistan have been made using EFP IED roadside bombs.

There are several United States service members and contractors that were harmed by Iranian-backed terrorism (EFP roadside bombs) and they may also have reputable cases against the banks who aided in attacks via the practice of money laundering.  

At Veterans Benefits Law Firm, our attorneys are proud to help you and your family receive the compensation you truly deserve for economic losses, pain, suffering and a loss of the quality of life.

How Do I Know if I Can File a Lawsuit?

It’s important to obtain the judgement of a federal court, by first proving that there was at least one connection between the malfeasance of the bank and the injury that you or your loved one were injured from. It’s already been well-documented that plenty of banks were responsible for funneling cash to Iran, and that Iran also chose to send terrorist devices, which were in turn sold off to Iraq, Afghanistan, and several other areas.  

It’s essential to prove that any injury sustained took place from 2004 to the present, and it was also directly caused by a device that was backed by Iran. Those may include: 

Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs). 

Explosively Formed Penetrators (EFPs). 

Rocket-Propelled Grenades (RPGs). 

Improvised Rocket-Assisted Munitions (IRAMs). 

These devices, the parts they’re made with, and the instructions used to run them were imported into Afghanistan and Iraq to solely kill Americans, any coalitions forces and to terrorize communities cooperating with any war effort. In addition to injured Veterans, the children and spouses of Veterans who were killed by these devices can also make a claim about the Iraq & Afghan War Fund. 

What's The Difference Between Total Disability Based Upon Individual Unemployability (TDIU) & An Extra-Schedular Disability Rating?

A Veteran must meet two requirements under a TDIU claim to be eligible for a 100 percent disability rating: They must have a service-connected disability with a 60% or more disability rating, or two or more service-connected disabilities with a combined rating of 70% or more AND/OR Medical evidence of unemployability. On the other hand, an extra-schedular rating applies to Veterans who are unemployable, due to their service-connected disability or disabilities, but whose disability does not meet the percentage requirements for any of the two aforementioned scenarios.

Catastrophic Injuries and Death Can Possibly Result in Compensation

Effects of EFPs can truly be horrific for any American who finds themself directly within the combat zone, and, if you, or someone that you know and love, was critically involved in one of these types of situations, our firm is here to help.

Those situations include, but may not be limited to, the following: 

• The loss of a loved one. 

• Suicide by a loved one, due to EFP-connected mental impairments. 

• The loss, or amputation of limbs. 

• Traumatic brain injury/injuries. 

• Spinal cord paralysis, or injuries. 

• The loss of vision. 

• ‘Blast’ injuries, shrapnel wounds/scars. 

• Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). 

Unfortunately, the Iraq & Afghan War Fund is not possible for all casualties of war, only to someone who is able to supply proof suggesting that Iranian-backed terror, and terroristic devices caused their injury.

Any case of this size is not easy to make, argue, or even win, but when you choose to work with our law firm, a team of people who have over 200 years of joint legal experience, and who are accredited to represent you anywhere in the United States, feel confident that we have the knowledge to fight for you. 

How IEDS & EFP Roadside Bombs Effect VA Disability Benefits

Lawsuits that seek out payments from the Iraq & Afghan War Fund fully separate from VA disability benefits. Even if you’re receiving VA disability benefits, you may still file a claim that’s centered around an IED/EFP roadside bomb lawsuit. Filing the IED/EFP does not affect the earlier disability claim. 

But, if you were injured in either Iraq or Afghanistan, you may also be entitled to VA disability benefits. If you have been denied, we can fight to help you get the benefits that you deserve.

Frequently Asked Questions

How Much Does It Cost To Hire You?

It does not cost you anything to hire our Veterans Benefits Law Firm as your attorneys. Our firm works on a contingency fee basis, which means you do not owe us anything unless we win you an award. Our firm charges 20%, which is deducted by the VA from your lump sum payment for retroactive benefits.

How Long Will It Take To Appeal My Benefits Denial?

While it can take six months or more for a Veteran to receive a decision on his or her initial benefits claim from the Department of Veterans Affairs, appeals could take 2 years of more. The Department of Veterans Affairs lacks the funding to properly staff and process benefits applications. The number of applications from recently returning Veterans must be dealt with while the Department of Veterans Affairs continues to actively work towards providing services to prior generations of Veterans.

How Do I Increase My Disability Rating?

Great question! If the condition that you are actively receiving disability benefits for has now ultimately worsened over time, you can file an increased rating claim. It’s fairly simple, and it involves filing out an online claim form or mailing a letter to your regional office documenting the change in your condition.
