Thanks to the efforts of Veterans Consortium attorney Stacy Tromble, Korean War Veteran Charles Henderson won a joint remand to get an additional medical exam for an injury to his right hand. The exam findings took him from a 10 percent to an 80 percent disability rating. He also received a retroactive settlement in excess of $90,000 and an $18,900 entitlement toward a vehicle. These long-overdue payments have allowed him to have his roof repaired, buy a car that he can actually drive, and get a new suit for church. Reflecting on this win, Mr. Henderson recently told his attorney that Veterans Day 2011 would be the first he was really able to enjoy.
