"Our saving grace!! We had tried to go about getting a disability rating increase on our own and only got so far and then was denied. With Woods & Woods at our side doing all the heavy lifting, I got my rating increased and didn't have to spend hours and hours on the paperwork. They did what was needed and brought in experts to prove the data so there was no way it could have been denied. Thank you for everything."
