Veterans Disability Benefits Lawyers

Breaking news! Do you have a 3m Earplug Lawsuit?

How to Obtain Yourย Veterans Disability Benefits

As a veteran of our armed forces whether army, navy, coast guard, air force, orย marine corp, you may be entitled to benefits including medical benefits, nursing home care, and aid and attendance, which includes compensation for assistance with daily living activities for you or your spouse.

Without an attorney who understands your rights and what you may be entitled to, the risk that your claim for veteranโ€™s benefits will be denied and/or that you may not be aware of potential benefits to which you may be entitled drastically increases.

Common Disabilities Diagnosed in Veterans

  • Unemployability
  • 3M EARPLUG LAWSUIT
  • Psychiatric Disability
  • Severe Back Injury
  • Severe Head and Neurological Claims
  • PTSD
  • Sexual & Physical Assault
  • Personality Disorders
  • Gulf War Syndrome
  • Death Benefits
  • Accrued Benefits Claim
  • 38 USCยง1151 Claims
  • Severe Heart Diseases
  • Severe Pulmonary Disorders

Establishing a Claim for Veteranโ€™s Benefits:

To be entitled to service-connected benefits, a veteran must prove that his disability was the result of military service or medical treatment by the VA hospital and was not the result of his own willful misconduct.

Understanding the Veteransโ€™ Benefits Approval Process

Step 1

Apply atย your local VA office. That office will issue aย Ratings Decision.

Step 2

If you wish to appeal the Ratings Decision, you must file aย Notice of Disagreement with your local VA office within one year. You will receive aย Statement of the Case from the local VA office. You may submit additional evidence. After receipt of the additional evidence, the local VA office will issue aย Supplemental Statement of the Case.

Step 3

If you wish to appeal the Statement of the Case or Supplemental Statement of the Case, you can appeal to theย Board of Veterans Appeals or BVA. You can file the appeal through your local office and have the right to aย hearing before the Board of Veterans Appeals. You must file the appeal within 60 days from your Statement of the Case or Supplemental Statement of the Case or one year from Ratings Decision. Following a hearing, the Board of Veterans Appeals can affirm the decision, remand it to the Ratings Officer for a new decision, grant benefits, or issue a final denial.

Step 4

If you receive a final denial, you can file suit in theย United States Court of Appeals for Veteransโ€™ Claims within 120 days of the Board of Veteransโ€™ Appeals decision.

The Veteransโ€™ Administration has a helpful pamphlet available to assist you in understanding the appeal process. A link to the pamphlet isย here.

Why Should I Hire an Attorney? ย Appealing a denied claim for disability benefits, death benefits or a disability rating increase is an overly complicated process, subject to thousands of pages or regulations and laws. Those who have been denied benefits are not expected to be able to comprehend all of these statues on their own. An attorney can help the claimant meet important deadlines outlined by these regulations, as well as gather additional medical records and documents to support their claim. Additionally, aย veteransโ€™ benefits attorney can help the claimant avoid mistakes which may unnecessarily delay their claim; even without complication, it takes several hundred days to receive a final decision.

To talk about your veteransโ€™ disability benefits, your current disability rating, or what our lawyers can accomplish for you โ€” call orย contact usย today for a free consultation with our veteransโ€™ disability benefits attorney. All veteransโ€™ disability and benefits cases are handled on a contingency fee basis. We receive no attorneysโ€™ fees unless we are able to get your rating and your veteransโ€™ disability payments increased.

What Our Clients Say

They truly care
Mrs Vallery, who answered the phone took more care and attention to detail than any other law office, that I have called, in 2 years+. She diligently took notes to give to the lawyers and cared about my situation and let me actually tell everything without cutting me short. Out of over 100 law offices, this is rare treatment. Care. Consideration. That means more than anything going through this…

From Self-Representation to Victory in SSDI Case!
My experience with Mario and his staff was outstanding. When everyone said to give up my case with SSDI and after being poorly represented and losing. I had to file my own appeals and represent myself. I literally called every attorney in the book. Then I called Mario cold – I expected one more no! Well, this gentleman took my case and won. He knows the law and cares a lot. I am proud to call him my friend. If you need a professional to help you, call these guys.

A Lifesaver in the Courtroom, Ensuring Freedom with A1 Professionalism
Needed a lifesaver. I had gotten myself into a bad situation and the possibility of going to prison. Through the diligence and hard work done by attorney Alley B., I was able to walk out of that courtroom a free man. No tricks just hard down attorney work. She was an A1 professional and knew every inch of the Law pertaining to my case. For that, I am forever grateful.
