R. Dilling, Veteran
Let me regale you with the tale that this intrepid woman has gone through on my behalf. I got out of the military on a medical discharge, with severe injuries leaving me unable to work. I applied for VA and Social Security Disability compensation. I was denied multiple times for social security for many years, the VA gave me a high rating out the gates, but was lower than what their own paperwork stated I should be at. I had been dealing with the VA and SSA for several years with no progress being constantly denied despite meeting their criteria. Fritzie has represented me with just these two cases for several years now. With dogged determination she managed to power through the ridiculous bureaucracy that is our federal government. We had to appeal my case up to a federal level and still she stuck to it and she won. She has had my case with the VA for just as long, to get the rating I should have had, by their own standards of rating. She has won not only the appeals for my total disability rating with the VA, but also the back pay award, the same way that she won the appeal for my social security. Because of her work my life has been changed forever: Because of her work I was able to get old student loans dismissed, repair my credit, and afford a home of my own -as I was unable to afford one being unable to work- and have a life of my own again, not being forced to rely on my family financially just to survive now that these cases have been won and I am being properly compensated for my injuries incurred during my time in service. There is no way I could possibly do proper justice to the depths of my gratitude for her, but I will say that she has a vast well of instinct and experience at her disposal coupled with determination to see things through.
