[blindlaw] Veterans' Affairs compensation benefits form

[Will Miller]

Thank you, Claire. Everything went fine this afternoon. I'm not sure if the 
attorneys I am working with will decide to pursue the claims from our 
interviews, but if they do I am going to try to convince them to do it 
online -- that way I think everyone (the veteran, the attorney, and I) can 
access and collaborate on the application through the VA website if they 
have the veteran's password.
Thanks again,
Will
