Veterans Disability Lawyers

A veteran disability lawyer will guide you through the entire process of claiming. From collecting medical and service evidence to filing an appeal against a denied claim, a veteran disability lawyer can help you through the entire claims process.

Select a veteran disability attorney who specializes in these cases and is well-versed with the VA system. This will ensure that your case receives the attention it deserves.

Proving Service Connection

The VA will only provide disability benefits if it can be confirmed that your illness is related to your military service. This is known as a relationship. There are many types of evidence to prove this connection. These include medical records, independent health assessments (IME), or an nexus letter from your current healthcare providers (especially in the case of mental health problems). Sometimes veterans have medically determinable disabilities but aren't able to get connected because of incomplete or missing military treatment records. These cases require the assistance of skilled New York disability lawyers who know how to make a complete claim and present evidence that is supported by experts who are impartial.

It is much easier to establish an immediate connection with your service to injuries or illnesses that occurred while in the military. If you've been injured while during your military service and now suffer from headaches and concussions, it's much easier to prove a direct service connection.

However, it's more difficult to be connected if you suffer from an existing medical condition that got worse while you were in the military. To prove that your time in the military caused or aggravated a pre-existing condition, you will need to present medical evidence that is "clear and undeniable".

Appealing a denied application

The VA will review your case after you have submitted your application and provided medical proof. It usually issues a ruling which either approves or denies benefits. If the decision is not in favor, the veteran has one year to submit a Notice of Disagreement. A lawyer for veterans' disabilities can assist the claimant through the three options for review including a supplemental claim, higher-level review, or direct appeal to the Board of Veterans' Appeals.

Make sure the lawyer is knowledgeable of your military experiences as well as the culture of the armed services when selecting a New York veterans' disability lawyer. This will make the process more enjoyable and eliminate the need for you to explain your experience and situations in plain language.

You should also find a firm who will remain on your case for the entire duration of your appeal. Beware of firms that assist you with the first stages of your claim and then go away.

A seasoned New York veterans disability attorney can help you through all phases of your claim including the appeals process. They can help you submit more medical evidence, ask for an official hearing, and also represent you at any Board meetings to ensure your case will be dealt with fairly. They can also help you claim benefits like monetary compensation, aid and attendance, education benefits or unemployment benefits.

How can you get a better rating

It could be that your disability gets worse or your symptoms are more severe. In this case it is sensible to request an increase in your rating. A veteran disability lawyer can help you with this process, and also help you collect evidence to support your claim.

It's not unusual for the VA to make mistakes that lead to being denied a disability rating lower than you're entitled. It's worth contacting an expert to look over your records for errors. They may have overlooked an injury or neglected to mention any issue that could have been combined with another disability to receive an improved rating.

Even even if it's been more than one year since the initial rating decision, you have the option of filing a higher-level review or supplemental claim. These require a complete review of your file and can result in the change of your effective date or a new rating that's more accurate to what you feel.

It's also worth looking into an additional claim or a more thorough review if you're trying to argue that you're entitled to a disability rate of 100 percent or more. A disability lawyer can help you make a convincing case for this rating, which is reserved only for the most debilitating of disabilities. A mental health problem, for example, may be a reason to get a 100 percent disability rating, as it can interfere with employment or result in frequent hospitalizations that do not normally trigger this level of a cardiovascular issue or other medical condition.

Need Help with the Appeals Process

Contrary to what many people believe that denying an application for disability benefits by the VA isn't the end of an individual's chances to recover benefits. In fact, a former soldier has one year from the date their local veterans hospital or office mails them a negative decision to appeal.

An experienced veterans disability lawyer can help a veteran decide which of the three ways to appeal is the best option for their situation. They can also assist veterans in obtaining the evidence needed to convince a higher-level reviewer that their previous decision was not correct. They may also give a veteran an opportunity to have a formal hearing before an Veterans Law judge.

The most appealing aspect of having an New York veteran disability attorney handle your appeal is that they'll give you the attention and care that your claim demands. They are also likely to have extensive experience handling VA disability claims and know the rules and procedures both inside and outside. Some lawyers are veterans, so they are aware of the difficulties that disabled veterans face. This creates a unique type of empathy that can sometimes make a difference in the outcome of a disability claim for veterans.
