Chris was part of a team that obtained a significant victory on behalf of a client who was sexually assaulted while serving in the U.S. Air Force. The team appealed the Department of Veterans Affairs initially assigned 50% disability rating, including an award of US$905/month, arguing that the veteran had more severe symptoms than a 50% rating reflected and was eligible for a higher rating and Total Disability due to Individual Unemployability. The appeal was granted and resulted in a payment increase to US$3,146/month and over US$200,000 in back pay.
