About This Course

Designed for practitioners who assist veterans through the complex VA bureaucracy to claim benefits related to toxic exposure during military service, the CLE course will review the new issues that have arisen concerning Blue Water and the potential for expansion to Okinawa and Panama.

While Veteran Law suffered a setback when they lost a critical Federal Circuit case on the Blue Water Navy, the regulations published by the VA offers hope for a new array of possibilities.
