Credit card disputes vs. VA disability benefit ratings...how similar are they?

Very.

Think about it.

Conceptually, they both involve two sides battling to prove their position is right.

Ultimately, the one providing the greatest amount of evidence prevails.

Which means there may be NUMEROUS hands involved in reviewing documentation.

You may have sent it to a CSR in Manila, who reviews it AND it may have also landed on the desk of a CSR in Witchita also providing their own checklist of items.

What to do?

PLAY THE GAME.

Whoever GIVES UP FIRST, LOSES.
