If you’ve ever felt like the VA claim process is stacked against you, this video is your inside track to turning the tables.

I’m breaking down exactly what counts as evidence under the VA’s own M21-1 manual — the same playbook VA raters use to approve or deny your claim.

You’ll learn:

✅ The 3 Evidence Pillars every VA claim must have
✅ Why McLendon v. Nicholson (2006) is a game-changer for veterans
✅ How to trigger the VA’s duty to provide a C&P exam
✅ The difference between acute/transitory and chronic/long-lasting conditions
✅ How to front-load your claim so the VA can’t deny it for “lack of evidence”

This is the VA claim cheat code I wish every veteran knew before filing.
