How a Veterans Disability Attorney Can Help You Get the Benefits You Deserve

The process of getting veterans disability benefits can be overwhelming. A qualified veterans disability lawyer can assist you from beginning to end.

It's crucial to find a lawyer who has a limit on their practice to disability cases and only handles these cases at all levels of appeal. This ensures that you're receiving the best legal representation.

Appeals

When the VA rejects or doesn't consider a claim, the spouse of the deceased or veteran can file an appeal. This is a complicated and time-consuming process that can be complicated, even for the most basic disability claims. A veteran disability lawyer can assist you in understanding all your options and secure the benefits you deserve.

One of the main reasons people are required to make an claim for disability is because they are not content with their disability ratings. In this case, the lawyer can ensure that the evidence is in place to justify a proper rating based on a disabling condition that is caused or exacerbated by military service.

A lawyer for veterans may be needed by those who have waited too long to get their benefits. The lawyer can help determine what documents are missing, and then submit a request for these records to the VA.

A veteran disability attorney can also alleviate the burden of dealing with the VA away from you. This will allow you to concentrate on your health and other obligations that you may have. Some attorneys are veterans themselves which can give them a unique type of empathy for their clients and create a deeper investment in their cases. This could make a significant difference in the result of the appeal.

Higher-Level Reviews

Veterans have more recourse options to appeal VA decisions if they do not agree. The Higher-Level Review is a decision review option that allows senior reviewers to review the same evidence as was presented in the original claim and then make an additional decision on the case. The senior reviewer is able to confirm or reverse the previous rating decision.

The veteran or their representative may ask for an informal conference with the senior reviewer to discuss the case, but only one such meeting is permitted. It is important to be prepared and present the facts of your case in a concise manner at this time. An attorney who is specialized in the field of disability for veterans can help you prepare for and participate in the informal conference.

The higher-level review is typically used to correct errors made by the previous reviewer of the disability claim. For instance an earlier reviewer misinterpreted evidence or committed errors in the law. The senior reviewer may alter an earlier decision on the same claim to rectify these errors however only if those changes are advantageous to the person filing the claim.

The higher-level review could lead to a personal hearing for the applicant, which provides an opportunity to connect with the person who is reviewing the claim, and explain their arguments. A veteran disability lawyer can assist in determining whether or not a personal hearing is needed and also prepare and present the evidence for the hearing.

Notice of Disagreement

Once the VA has examined your claim and reached a decision, you can submit a notice of disagreement within one year of the date the local office gives you the original denial notice. The VA will examine your claim once more and draft an official statement of the case.

To file a complaint, you should use VA Form 21-958. A disability lawyer can help you fill out the form correctly to appeal the decision. It is not necessary to list every reason you disagree with the VA's decision but it is best to be specific to help the VA to understand what you believe is wrong. Your attorney can help you determine what evidence to include with the NOD. These could be statements from medical professionals, or the results of diagnostic tests.

If your appeal is denied at this stage, then you can have it re-examined by a senior reviewer through an Higher Level Review. This process could take as long as approximately 25 months. You should be in contact with your lawyer at all times. If the VA refuses to accept your claim, your lawyer can request a hearing to be conducted before an Veterans Law Judge to present testimony and additional evidence in person. If your claim is ultimately granted, your lawyer will prepare you for the check.

Statement of the Case

Congress has passed many laws to ensure veterans receive compensation for injuries, illnesses and other ailments they've suffered during their service. The VA is a large bureaucracy and it's easy for people to get lost. A veteran disability lawyer can guide you through the process and provide vital assistance for claimants.

The VA must review the case after the veteran has filed an Notice of Dispute at the local VA office. This includes looking into the laws, regulations and the evidence used to make the initial decision. This includes looking over the veteran's medical record and at times lay statements. The VA must provide the claimant with the Statement of Case which includes a list with evidence it has analyzed.

The statement should be written in plain language and explain the reasoning for the decision, including the interpretation of the regulations and laws relevant to the case. It should address all the claims made by the plaintiff in his or her NOD.

The Statement of the Case is typically mailed to the veteran within 120 days of the date that the NOD was filed. However, due to the VA backlog, the agency may take longer to issue this document. Contact a veterans disability attorney from Fusco, Brandenstein & Rada, P.C. if you are a vet who is contesting a decision regarding the amount of your rating or a claim for benefit.
