Hear It Direct From Four Veterans Who Fought For Their Claim
Not thirty-second cutdowns. Not scripted spots. Four full-length conversations with veterans who worked with our team on contested claims. Filmed at their request. Released with their consent.
◼ YouTube·1 hr 03 min·Full Interview
How Mike Edwards Rebuilt His Case After the System Stopped Listening
An hour with the veteran who thought the VA had heard his story, and found out it hadn't. Watch what changed when the medical evidence finally matched the injury. No script. No cuts. Just the conversation.
◼ YouTube·1 hr 09 min·Full Interview
Eric Ball Was Denied Every Time He Filed
Then the documentation caught up with the medicine. A full-length, unedited interview with a veteran who kept getting told his conditions weren't service-connected, and what shifted once the evidence was built the way the VA actually needs to see it.
◼ YouTube·1 hr 26 min·Full Interview
Joel Olague Gave Us an Hour and a Half
The longest conversation on this page. A veteran walks through the full arc of his claim — what he misunderstood at the start, what he would tell someone filing today, and what changed once the medical record actually reflected the injury.
◼ YouTube·34 min·Full Interview
Bryce Thomas Kept It Short and Direct
Half an hour, no preamble. A veteran explains what the process actually asked of him, where it got difficult, and why he stopped trying to carry the paperwork on his own.
Both interviews are released with the veteran's written consent. Every case is different. Results depend on the medical evidence, the completeness of the record, and VA adjudication. These interviews describe personal experience and are not a promise of any specific outcome.

I tried several groups offering assistance filing a VA claim. Some were no shows or help, some were spaghetti throwers (seeing what would stick to the wall) and then I found Semper Solutus. Game changer! We put together a complete package, including medical records, statements, evidence, and had it filed in two weeks. Yes, it took effort on my part, but they provided the guidance and oversight and walked me through the process. I can’t recommend them enough. I paid another company way more and got way less!

The team at Semper Solutus is extremely friendly and patient beyond belief. They were recommended by a trusted friend and I’m glad I went with them! They literally walked me through every step along the way. I’ve been out of the navy for 26 years and never even thought about any benefits I sure was missing out! I’m excited to see my results 🇺🇸

These people are fantastic....if you are a veteran and need help navigating the VA, compensation dilemma...these are the people it is not a complcated process but the wording and documentation that you must have are paramount...I had filed with another company....they got me to 94.12%..that all sounds great but it could have been 100%, but they messed up one of the key componentsof the claim...and they never communicatedwith me on anything was unableto contact them or answer correspondence..at Semper. We talked almost everyday and MD, wrote statements and figured the correct wording for my appeal....so hopefully now we can get the 0.88%, to get to 100%...my thanks go out to everyone...d

These people are great. They always have good attitudes, talk to you like you’re a friend, and there is zero procrastination on their end. You could message them on a Sunday and they will respond Sunday night or first thing Monday. They make the process so simple and easy, walk you through everything, I haven’t even gotten a new rating yet but I would pay for it and recommend it again in a heartbeat. I’ve used 3 different companies and this is the only one that doesn’t treat you like a robot.

As a physician myself I was unsure if I needed help with my VA claims. I couldn’t have been more wrong. After hiring Semper, everything was so easy. They were very communicative and attentive and the process was fast and easy. I got my 100 percent P & T within a few months and I could not be happier with service I received. Could not recommend more highly!

I was sitting at 0% for years and really didn’t know what I was doing with the VA process. I reached out to Semper Solutus and they helped me get everything together and file it the right way. On my first filing with them I went from 0% to 90%, which is honestly crazy to me. I still have a few things pending too, so there’s a chance I could end up at 100%. They made the whole process way easier to understand and were there whenever I had questions. Definitely grateful I found them and I’d recommend them to any veteran trying to figure out their VA claim.

Semper Solutus is what veterans need. Dont hire a lawyer they will take alot of your backpay and stall your case. Semper Solutus does it the right way so you only pay what it costs to get the Nexus letters we need along with strategy and a personal focus that is supported by real people doing good work.

Semper is Military Medical Experts combined with tactical precision. The team at Semper Solutus is a veteran owned and operated group of experts who take their service to the community seriously. They have a great track record of fighting hard with truth and resilience to help veterans secure the rating and benefits they truly deserve. For me, I ended up with 100%, and a military medical retirement, which gives me something to fall back on if my medical issues prevent me from working. Thank you Semper Solutus!

Matthew has helped me better understand the "why" behind suicide, grief, and the questions that so often remain unanswered. He has never claimed to have all the answers. Instead, he shares his knowledge with kindness, patience, and genuine compassion. That willingness to help, even when there is nothing to gain, speaks volumes about his character. While I cannot speak as a client, I can say that his generosity, wisdom, and empathy have made a meaningful difference in my life. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone seeking someone who truly cares.

I highly recommend Semper Solutus and their entire team to any veteran navigating the VA disability claims process. From day one, they were knowledgeable, professional, and incredibly supportive. They took the time to explain every step, answered all of my questions, and made a process that can often feel confusing and overwhelming much easier to understand. What impressed me most was their commitment to helping veterans receive the benefits they've earned through their service. They genuinely care, pay attention to the details, and work hard to ensure you have the information and guidance you need to build the strongest claim possible. If you're a veteran who feels lost, frustrated, or unsure where to turn with your VA disability claim, I encourage you to reach out to Semper Solutus. Their experience, professionalism, and dedication to veterans make them an outstanding resource. I am truly grateful for everything they have done to help me, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to any fellow veteran.

I was struggling at work just to make ends meet. Between the stress of my CFS and being always tired, it was really draining me to the point where people could tell I was losing hope. As soon as my energy started drifting I talked to CJ and he basically reassured me that this is how the process goes and its completely normal. He told me he would fight for me even when I didn't have no more fight in the game. He told me as long as I showed up for my appointments I would be straight and like I said, 3 months later the fight was over and I got my 100%. If yall looking for somebody to fight for you even when your tired, SEMPER SOLUTUS PULLED THROUGH. They will get you what you deserve.

I was very anxious to reach out for help. When I first spoke with Dr. Matt all that anxiety went away. Devon was my next point of contact and he helped me every step of the way. Not once did he rush me or make me feel like I was a burden. The intake forms helped me put together medical evidence from the VA that I didn't even know existed. Once this evidence was turned over to Dr. Matt he put it all together in one of the most well written letters I've ever seen. That letter was the key to presenting every bit of medical evidence I had to the VA as a smooth seamless process which Devon was there to help me navigate every step of the way. Bottom line is, Semper Solutus helped me dig up every bit of evidence in my records, put it together in a most professional letter, and helped me get that letter on the table at the VA. Three weeks later I had my final decision, 100 percent P&T.

Referred a friend to Semper Solutus for help with a VA disability claim and came away genuinely impressed. They took care of my friend, but what got me was that they also took time to answer questions I had during the process — no rushing, no "that's not really our problem" energy. Just helpful. The team clearly knows the VA disability process cold. Having licensed MDs, PAs, and Clinical Psychologists who specifically understand VA standards isn't something you see everywhere — and it shows in how their documentation is put together. It's detailed, structured, and built to hold up. They actually seem to care about veterans navigating a process that can feel confusing and overwhelming — and that comes through. If you're a veteran needing medical documentation support for a claim, or you know someone who is, call them. Veteran-owned, professional, and straight-up honest. That combination is rarer than it should be.

Dr. Wilson was upfront, honest, and clear from the very beginning. In my case he advised me what route I should take. Clear, cut and professional. He took the time to explain the process and made sure I understood what to expect every step of the way, which meant a lot to me. I was referred by a trusted friend and since then I have referred other veterans. Because of his help and dedication, my outcome has truly changed my life. My family and I will feel the impact of this for years to come, and I’m incredibly grateful. If you’re looking for someone who is knowledgeable, straightforward, and genuinely invested in helping you, I highly recommend Semper Solutions.

A highly knowledgeable group of veterans ready to advocate on your behalf as long as you’re willing to put in the effort too. With Dr. Matt delivering detailed, well-structured medical evidence, it becomes extremely difficult for the VA to deny service connection when the facts are clearly and professionally supported by objective findings.

I can’t recommend Semper Solutus enough. I worked with them during my VA disability process, and the level of guidance, attention to detail, and overall support made a major difference in my outcome. What stood out to me most was how thorough and honest the process was. Nothing felt rushed or generic. Every part of my case was handled with intention, and I always felt like my situation was actually being understood instead of just processed. Communication was consistent, and I never felt left in the dark. If I had questions, Doc Wilyonson answered them clearly and without the runaround. That alone is rare. Because of the work we did together, I was able to reach a result that genuinely changed my life. If you’re looking for someone who knows the system and actually cares about getting it right, this is the place to go. I mean even after helping me with my claim and reaching 100%, I still reach out to Doc and his team to wish them Merry Christmas and happy holidays, just because these guys take it that personal. Truly great people working to serve us, the veteran community.
