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

The process of obtaining veterans disability benefits can be a challenge. The right veterans disability attorney can guide you from beginning to end.

It's crucial to find an attorney who only handles disability law and cases of this nature at all levels of appeal. This will ensure you receive the most effective representation.

Appeals

If the VA rejects a claim or does not allow benefits to be approved, it allows the veteran or his spouse who survives to appeal. It is a difficult and time-consuming process that can be complicated even by the most basic disability claims. A veterans disability attorney can assist you in understanding your options and obtain the benefits you deserve.

The most common reason people file a claim for disability is that they are unhappy with their disability rating. In this case, a lawyer can make sure that there is enough evidence to back an appropriate rating due to a condition caused or made worse by military service.

A lawyer for veterans may be needed by people who have been waiting too long to receive their benefits. The lawyer can help determine what documents are missing and submit a request to the VA for those records.

A veteran disability lawyer can also relieve you of the burden of dealing directly with the VA. This gives you the time to concentrate on your health, and any other responsibilities you may have. Certain attorneys are veterans themselves, and this can give them a unique level of compassion for their clients and create a deeper investment in their cases. This can make a big difference in the outcome of the appeal.

Higher-Level Reviews

Veterans have more recourse options to appeal VA decisions in the event of disagreement. The Higher-Level Review option is a decision-review option that permits an experienced reviewer to look at the same evidence presented in the original claim, and then make a new decision. The senior reviewer may confirm or reverse the previous rating decision.

The person who is the veteran or their representative could ask for an informal conference with the senior reviewer to discuss the case, however, only one such conference is allowed. In this meeting it is important to prepare and present your case's details clearly. A veterans disability attorney can assist you in preparing for and take part in the informal conference.

The higher-level reviews are typically used to correct errors made by the previous reviewer of the disability claim. For example an earlier reviewer misinterpreted evidence, or made errors in the law. The senior reviewer can change the previous decision made on the same claim in order to fix these types of mistakes but only if the changes are advantageous to the claimant.

A personal hearing may be arranged for the applicant as a result of the higher-level review. This is an opportunity for the claimant to meet with the person reviewing their claim and discuss their arguments. A veterans disability lawyer can help determine whether it is necessary to request a private hearing, and with making and presenting the evidence at the hearing.

Notice of Disagreement

Once the VA has looked over your claim and come to a decision, you are able to make a formal notice of disagreement within one year of the date that the local office has sent you its original denial letter. The VA will examine your claim again and issue an official statement of the case.

To file a complaint with the VA, you should fill out VA Form 21-958. A disability lawyer can help you complete this form correctly to appeal the decision. You don't have to list all the reasons you do not agree with the VA's decision, but it is important to be specific in order to help the VA know what you believe is wrong. Your attorney can guide you on what evidence to submit with the NOD, like statements from medical professionals or results of diagnostic tests.

If your appeal is rejected at this stage, then you can have it reviewed by a senior reviewer through an Higher Level Review. The process can take between 25 and 25 months and you should be with your attorney at every step. If the VA denies your claim, your attorney can request a hearing before an Veterans Law judge to present testimony and other evidence in person. Your attorney will draft your check if your claim is awarded.

Statement of the Case

Congress has passed numerous laws to ensure that veterans are compensated for their ailments, injuries and illnesses that they suffer during their service. However the VA is a massive bureaucracy, and it's easy to become lost in the system. A veteran disability attorney can assist in navigating the process and provide crucial assistance for claimants.

The VA must examine the case after a veteran has filed an Notice of Dispute at the local VA office. This includes examining the laws, regulations and evidence used to reach the original decision. This includes reviewing the medical record of the veteran as well as, if necessary lay statements. The VA must send the claimant a Statement of the Case which is a list of all evidence it has reviewed.

This statement should explain in plain language the reasoning behind its decision, as well as how it determined the law and regulations that affected the case. It should address all arguments made by the claimant in the NOD.

The Veteran will receive the Statement of Case within 120 days of the date the NOD was received. However, due to the VA backlog and backlog, the agency could take longer to mail this document. If you're a veteran seeking to appeal a decision on your rating or claim for benefits, you should contact a veterans disability lawyer from Fusco, Brandenstein & Rada, P.C.
