Applying for Veterans disability benefits can be difficult to navigate by yourself. Many people get denied simply because they do not know VA law or file incorrectly. Working with an experienced veterans disability lawyer can help you get the benefits you’re entitled to.

What can a Veterans Disability Lawyer do for me? 

Making or appealing a claim successfully through the VA can be a very complex and time-consuming process. 

  • Having an attorney to navigate through the ever-changing rules and forms for you can reduce the number of headaches you have to go through. 
  •  An attorney will also track appeal deadlines to protect your interests.
  • Just as most people would not want to go through other legal processes without competent representation, veterans deserve to have representation to help them get more of the benefits they are entitled to. 
  • An attorney may be able to find benefits you didn’t even know about.

Will a Veterans Disability Lawyer make my claim go faster?

Veterans’ claims often get caught in a cycle of denial, appeal, remand, denial, appeal, remand, and so on. This can add years to a claim. While an attorney may not be able to make the VA decide your claim any faster, an experienced attorney can put you in a position to win your appeal the first time around.

When should I hire a Veterans Disability Lawyer?

The VA process can be confusing and frustrating. There are a lot of regulations and rules that must be observed when dealing with the federal government so it is best to hire an attorney as early in the process as possible.

You should consult a lawyer if:

  • You are about to apply for disability benefits
  • You have applied for disability benefits and received a denial letter and intend to file an appeal 
  • You disagree with your disability rating
  • You need a discharge upgrade to qualify for VA benefits
  • You have filed claims in the past and need to reopen those claims
