M-VETS Advocates for Mason Alum

The Scalia Law School’s Mason Veterans and Servicemembers Legal Clinic (M-VETS) advocated for a Mason Alum and United States Air Force Veteran before the Department of Veterans Affairs (DVA) Board of Veterans’ Appeals (BVA). Student Advisor (SA) Anthony (Tony) Mancini conducted the BVA hearing under the supervision of M-VETS Director Timothy M. MacArthur. After five years of litigation with the DVA, the administrative law judge heard the claim for secondary service-connection for right leg radiculopathy. In discussing the case, Mancini said, “I am deeply honored that I was able to represent our client before the BVA. This entire process has been an invaluable experience that goes far beyond anything I could have learned in a law school classroom. I am proud that I was a part of an organization that works for the people who have selflessly sacrificed more than we could imagine in the service of their country.”

M-VETS assists veterans, service members, and their dependents with military/veteran/DVA administrative matters, to include disability compensation and educational benefits appeals, discharge upgrades, and Boards for Correction of Military Records matters.
