My Nonprofit Reviews

I was discharged from the navy as Honorable/disabled in 1965, but for some unknown reason they rated my disability as a 0% I had suffered a brain injury. Due to the way they wrote up my discharge, I was denied all VA benefits. However, The Blinded Veterans took up my case a few years ago and today I am rated at 95% disabled an have full medical and disability funding! They took my case even though it was very complicated and has taken many claims and claim reviews.. in fact they are still working to get me at !00%
This is special because every other lawyer and group had refused to help me due to the complexity of my case. In addition, because of their efforts my spouse will be better cared for if I die. they are awesome.

I am legally blind due to a brain injury. As such what I see does not alway register correctly with my brain. For several years I had stayed at home, due to getting hurt while walking. In November 2017, I celebrated my first year with Blessing; a service dog from Occupaws. I also celebrated one full years on no accidents while traveling, I was able to return to work as a half time volunteer in the local elementary school. My stress level in down to almost nothing. Occupaws also has some of the best trained guide dogs which has allowed me to work in classrooms with no disruptions from my dog. I have traveled quite a bit in the last year including attending training at Hines VA blind rehab school and teaching children about blindness and service dogs. With Blessing, every day I was complemented on her behavior and training. With her, I am now "welcome" in schools, hospitals and places of business. Her training was awesome. So was mine. I also highly recommend Occupaws to anyone wanting a guide dog. They are the only ones that i know of who train us the user at our home, local city or town and in my case, in my school of employment. I have gone from a recluse to active involvement in my community all thanks to the Occupaws Organisation an the awesome partner they trained for me. As her name suggest; my service dog from Occupaws is a Blessing for me! Thanks.
