Morris Nichols Secures Pro Bono Victory for Veteran
A pro bono team from Morris, Nichols, Arsht & Tunnell LLP has successfully appealed a veteran’s claim for disability benefits, securing a compensation award of more than $250,000 for past-due benefits. Through an appointment from the Veterans Law Clinic (“VLC”) at Widener University Delaware Law School, Morris Nichols represented pro bono client “Mr. D.” in a six-year challenge with the Veterans Administration. The appeal successfully back-dated Mr. D’s disability claim for unemployability (TDIU) and post-traumatic stress disorder (“PTSD”) to an effective date more than twenty years prior, resulting in the back payment award. “We thank the VLC team for the opportunity to work on this matter and to help Mr. D. receive his long-owed benefits,” said Morris Nichols attorney Jennifer Ying, who saw the appeal through from the start. “Being able to offer our assistance and experience to those who are in need of help is an important part of our commitment to serving our community.”
