🚨 Looking for a Veteran in Need of Home Repairs 🚨

A Navy Veteran (served 1998–2003) and their amazing coworkers at a Fortune 500 company are taking on a special project — funded and completed entirely by them — to help a disabled Veteran make their home more accessible.

🛠 The Details:

This is not funded by the VA or any government program

The work and costs will be covered by the Navy Vet’s team of volunteers

They’re looking for a deserving disabled Veteran who could benefit from light home modifications for accessibility

Not affiliated with Shadow Vets - just posting for a fellow Veteran - all coordination would be direct between the Veteran and their group

💡 How You Can Help:
If you are that Veteran — or know someone who is — send me a DM with:

The Veteran’s name and contact info

A brief description of the modifications needed

🇺🇸 We may only be able to help one veteran this time, but the goal is to make a real difference for someone in our community.

Please share this post so we can connect with the right person. Let’s get this opportunity to someone who truly needs it!

📢 Looking for 5 Veterans – Test Group Opportunity
Service: Secondary VA Disability Claim Review & Documentation

Shadow Vets is seeking 5 Veterans to participate in a test group for a new service designed to uncover overlooked secondary service-connected conditions and organize the medical evidence needed for a stronger VA disability claim.

What This Service Delivers:

Full Record Review – Thorough analysis of your VA and private medical records to identify diagnoses not currently rated but potentially eligible for secondary service connection. (*Must be in searchable PDF document; VA Myhealth-e-vet blue button download is ideal)

Medical Link Identification – Pinpoint conditions with strong medical or pharmacological links to existing service-connected disabilities (e.g., GERD secondary to OSA or MDD, migraines secondary to OSA, radiculopathy secondary to lumbar DDD).

Evidence Mapping – Each diagnosis is precisely referenced with dates and page numbers from your records for clear, verifiable documentation.

Veteran-Friendly Summary – Educational report explaining each potential secondary claim, the rationale behind the nexus, and step-by-step filing guidance.

Optional Add-On – Drafting of medical nexus statements or provider letters to further support your claim.

Why Join the Test Group?
This is a limited opportunity to access the service by optional donation while helping refine it for future Veterans. You’ll get the same thorough process — plus direct communication throughout.

Ideal For:
Veterans who want to maximize VA disability compensation by uncovering missed secondary conditions and strengthening claims with organized, medically justified evidence.

📩 Message us directly if you’d like to be considered for one of the 5 test group spots.
