VA offers disability benefits to veterans affected by an illness or injury related to their military service. To apply for these benefits, you must currently have an illness or injury affecting your mind or body and have served in the military or active or inactive duty training for the required period. Additionally, the VA requires a better-than-dishonorable discharge (or, if Other than Honorable, VA must deem it to be not dishonorable).
You’ve served our country proudly, and now it’s time to receive the benefits you deserve. But getting those benefits can be easier said than done. If you’re having trouble claiming your benefits or have questions about whether you meet the qualifications, it’s important that you reach out to a qualified VA disability compensation attorney.

If you’ve ever filed a VA disability claim, you know that the process is long and frustrating. To make matters worse, at the end of it all, you may find that your disability claim was denied or your disability rating is much lower than what you expected.
VA disability claims get denied for many reasons – some within your control, some not. Even if you’re experienced at this, it does not guarantee a claim approval. Each case is different.
Claims may be denied due to a lack of proper documentation or because you have yet to be able to prove that your injury or illness was service-connected. But truthfully, even after doing all of the right things, there’s always a chance that your claim could be denied. And if you are battling the VA disability system, our attorneys can help you pursue an appeal. We’ll help you navigate VA’s three-tiered decision review process and take your case to the U.S. Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims if necessary.
If you believe your claim was wrongly denied, it can be helpful to have legal help from an experienced disability lawyer who knows how to win appeals. Call our office today to discuss what’s possible for your claim.

VA considers the severity of your condition and uses the Schedule for Rating Disabilities to determine your disability rating. They’ll use the evidence you provide and the results of your VA claim exam (if required) to inform this determination.
If you have more than one disability, VA uses the “whole person theory” method to determine your combined disability rating. The VA does this to ensure your total disability rating doesn’t exceed 100%. This is done by using the Combined Ratings Table to determine your rating.
