Rodger Sharp

Rodger Sharp is a retired Air National Guard veteran of the 134th Civil Engineer Squadron who learned the VA claims system the hard way. He went looking for help from the veteran-approved sources that were supposed to have his back — and got vague answers, dead ends, and the runaround instead. So he stopped waiting on someone else to explain it. He read the regulations, the rating schedule, and the appeals process himself, line by line, until he understood exactly how the system decides who gets paid and who doesn't. What he found was that the law was rarely the real obstacle. The explanation was. Armed with a Master's degree in OSHA Safety and years of hands-on research into federal claims policy, Rodger now turns the regulatory language most veterans give up trying to parse into clear, step-by-step guides anyone can follow. A proud member of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc., he brings the same tactical precision to every page of this book that he once had to teach himself under pressure — because no veteran should have to fight the VA and their own paperwork at the same time.
