  • Denied full combat back pay, a Marine’s case is headed to Supreme Court

    Denied full combat back pay, a Marine’s case is headed to Supreme Court
    Jan 31 2025
    Today we’re hearing from attorney Bart Stichman, Co-founder of National Veterans Legal Services Program, regarding the case “Soto vs United States” and how a Marine Corps combat veteran (and 9,000 other vets) had their benefit claims denied, and disputed by our government. The petition was filed on behalf of USMC vet, Mr. Simon Soto who was initially approved for Combat Related Special Compensation (CRSC), but later denied the full amount after government lawyers claimed a six-year ceiling on retroactive benefits. We open with the facts behind this case, and examine the PTSD he suffered after serving as Mortuary Affairs in Iraq, where he processed the remains of our fallen Marines and Soldiers. Stichman further explains: Why the government fights against veterans filing CRSC claims The arguments that will be heard by The United States Supreme Court in April We’ll continue to follow this story as it develops.

  • “Warrior Code” Part 2: VetClaims.ai wins the fight for VA benefits, How Congress may kill it

    “Warrior Code” Part 2: VetClaims.ai wins the fight for VA benefits, How Congress may kill it
    Jan 24 2025
    This is the end of a 2-part series and a powerful interview with Army combat vet, turned software developer Lukas Simianer, Founder, VetCLaims.ai. After teaching himself computer coding, he went from flat broke to creating software that is revolutionizing the VA claims process. We begin with his rise to tech entrepreneur as the founder of Clusiv- an e-learning platform built to assist the blind. Simianer shares the battle he faced when state and federal programs chose inefficient status quo over his innovative software. He also shares how initial defeat led to an unusual offer from the CIA. And how psychedelics played a role in inspiring this groundbreaking software. We also hear a troubling description of the VA’s C&P (Compensation and Pension) medical exam, and the overwhelming burden of proof put on veterans seeking benefits. Simianer reveals how the code he developed allows VetClaims to instantly research millions of documents, making claims impossible to deny. We close with the shocking battle he now faces with Congress (mainly former military officers now politicians) who submitted bills that would crush VetClaims’ ability to help our vets.
