I’m Louis J. Schwartz, a retired Army Lieutenant Colonel.
After 23 years of service, I went through the VA process and received a 90% rating. Like many veterans, I stopped there, thinking it was enough.
Years later, life circumstances changed, and I decided to revisit my claim. Using the same process I now teach, I went from 90% to 100% Permanent & Total in just 6 weeks.
Rated Right was built from that experience.
It’s a step-by-step program designed to help veterans understand the VA process, organize evidence, prepare for exams, and build a complete claim.
This community is for veterans at 0%, stuck between 10–90%, or previously denied.
This is education and coaching — not legal advice.
Your claim. Your story. Let’s get it Rated Right.
