⚖️

Reynolds v. Collins, __ Vet.App. __, No. 23-6336 (December 16, 2025).

Reynolds is a blueprint case for fighting for earlier effective dates under 3.156(c) when VA “finds” combat records years later but tries to dodge retroactive compensation. It’s a reminder that the VA system often behaves like a vending machine that dispenses benefits only after you kick it hard enough. 🥴⚖️
