“Don’t even try to take on the VA without Woods & Woods.“
Mick B., Marine veteran from Indiana
Woods & Woods has won more than
for veterans since 2016
This page describes some of our landmark victories for veterans. Please remember that past results do not guarantee future performance.
Woods & Woods makes no guarantees except that you won’t pay a penny unless your claim is successful.
Woods & Woods has helped thousands of U.S. veterans around the world win their VA disability claims. Our team brings together VA-accredited attorneys, case managers, medical experts, legal analysts, and support staff. Together, we identify effective legal arguments and gather the necessary evidence to convince the VA to grant veterans the benefits they deserve.
Although legal and ethical standards prevent us from sharing our success rate, we can tell you in 2022 alone, we recovered more than $140 million for veterans nationwide. We plan to do the same this year.
As much as we like to talk about how many veterans we have helped, nothing gives us more pleasure than hearing the individual stories from the veterans and their families we’ve worked with. Here, you’ll find many of their stories in their own words as well as descriptions of some of the real cases we have argued and won.
for an Army veteran from Florida for a mental health condition.
This Army veteran started working with us in 2013 after decades of back and forth with the VA and only denial letters to show for it. It took many additional years of fighting, but we were able to prove he was owed TDIU back to 1980 for his mental health condition, plus DEA benefits. His total back pay of more than $1.1 million is the largest award we have ever won for a veteran.
This Vietnam veteran had been struggling while seeking the compensation they were owed since 1995 when they hired our team in 2014. We won them a 100% rating for their mental health conditions, plus special monthly compensation for aid and attendance. Because of mistakes made by the VA, we were also able to get them missing back pay to their original effective date in 1995.
for an Army veteran from California for mental health conditions
“I can’t thank them enough.”
REGINALD H., MARINE VETERAN
for a Marine / Army veteran from Ohio for headaches, tinnitus, and mental health conditions.
This veteran served in both the Army and Marine Corps through the 70s and 80s. They hired us to help with their claim in 2017 and we won them TDIU back to 2007 for mental health conditions, headaches, and tinnitus, plus special monthly compensation. We also helped them win a 100% rating for their coronary artery disease.
We managed to win this Army veteran in California more than a million dollars in missing back pay. This case went all the way up to the CAVC, but we ultimately were able to prove the veteran deserved an earlier effective date of 1972. This case marks one of the earliest effective dates and largest back pay checks we’ve ever gotten a client.

“They truly are the veterans attorneys.”
JoannE O., Army veteran
for a widow of a veteran in Kentucky.
The VA denied a woman in Kentucky her DIC benefits after her husband’s death in 1996. We appealed this decision, proving the veteran’s death was service connected and helping his widow get her full benefits, including nearly $90,000 in missing payments.
This Coast Guard veteran was medically discharged with only a 10% rating. After working with our firm, the veteran from Arizona was awarded DEA, and rated at 100% for coronary artery disease and 60% for higher than normal blood pressure. In total, they received $302,285 from the VA for 8 years of back pay owed to them.

“They gave me one thing I didn’t have
for a whole lot of years — and that was hope.”
JOE J., MARINE VETERAN
for an Air Force veteran in Montana for conditions including sleep apnea, PTSD, and tinnitus.
An Air Force veteran hired Woods & Woods in 2012 after being denied a variety of conditions and benefits. In 2021, the Montana-based client was granted a 70% rating for PTSD and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). They were also awarded SMC benefits for housebound individuals, TDIU, and DEA, all with 10 years of back pay.
A surviving spouse in North Carolina started working with our firm in 2019 after being first denied DIC in 2003. Prior to his death, her husband was receiving TDIU for service-connected conditions he developed while serving in the Army from the 1950s through 1970s. We won this widow’s case, proving her husband’s death was service connected and getting her the full benefits she was owed.
