veterans disability law firms Disability Lawyers

A veteran disability lawyer will guide you through the entire claim process. From collecting medical and service proof to submitting an appeal of a claim that has been denied.

Select a veteran disability lawyer that is experienced in these cases and is familiar with the VA system. This will ensure that your case gets the attention it deserves.

Proving Service Connection

The VA will only grant disability benefits if you prove that the condition you are suffering from is linked to your military service. This is called a nexus. There are many types of evidence to prove the connection. This includes medical documents, independent health examinations (IME), or an nexus note from current healthcare providers (especially in the situation of mental health conditions). There are times where veterans are diagnosed with medical disabilities, but cannot be considered to be service-connected due the absence of or insufficient documents. These cases require the help of skilled New York disability attorneys who know how to present an entire claim as well as submit evidence that is backed by independent experts.

It is easier to prove direct service connection for illnesses or injuries that occurred while in the military. If you suffered injuries in the military, and now suffer from headaches and concussions it is much easier to establish a direct connection to the service.

It is harder to get connected to the military if you suffered from a pre-existing condition that worsened while you were in military service. To show that your time in service was a catalyst for the worsening or aggravation of a pre-exist medical condition, you'll need to present medical evidence from an expert that is "clear and undeniable".

Appealing a Denial

After submitting an application and submitting medical evidence, the VA will review the case. It usually issues a decision that either approves or denies benefits. If the decision is unfavorable the veteran has one year to make a notice of disagreement. A veterans disability lawyer can assist the claimant through the three decision review options -- an additional claim, a more extensive review, or a direct appeal to the Board of Veterans' Appeals.

When deciding on the right New York veterans disability lawyer Make sure you consider whether they understand your military experience and the culture of the armed forces. This can make the process more comfortable and less requiring you to describe your experiences and situations in plain language.

You also need a company that will continue to work on your case throughout the entire appeals process of several years. Be wary about firms that assist you with the initial stages of your claim, and then disappear.

A seasoned New York veterans disability attorney can assist with all stages of your claim including the appeals process. They can assist you in submitting more medical evidence, request an official hearing and represent you at any Board meetings to ensure your case will be handled without prejudice. They can also assist you in obtaining you benefits, such as monetary compensations, aid and education benefits, attendance benefits, or unemployment.

Getting a Higher Rating

It could be that your disability gets worse or your symptoms are more severe. In such a case, it makes sense to request a higher rating. A veterans disability lawyer can assist in that process, and can assist you in finding evidence to justify your request.

It's not common for the VA to make mistakes that lead to being denied a disability rating lower than you deserve. It's worth getting an expert to review your records for any errors. They might have missed an injury or neglected to mention any issue that could have been combined with another condition to get a higher rating.

You can still make a higher-level claim, or review if you've been assessed for more than a calendar year. This involves a thorough review of your file. It could result in a change to your effective date or an updated rating that is more accurate to how you truly feel.

It's also worth looking into an additional claim or a more thorough review if you're arguing that you deserve a disability rating of 100 percent or greater. A disability lawyer can assist you to make a convincing case for this rating, which is reserved only for the most debilitating disabilities. A mental illness like this one, for instance, may be a reason to get a 100 percent disability rating because it could hinder your employment or trigger frequent hospitalizations that would not normally trigger this level of severity for a heart problem or any other medical condition.

Assistance with the Appeals Process

Contrary to what some may believe, a VA denial of disability benefits does not mean that the person is in no position to claim benefits. In fact, a former soldier has one year from the date that their local veterans hospital or office mails them a decision that is not favorable to appeal.

An experienced veterans disability lawyer can help a veteran determine which of the three current appeals routes is most appropriate for their particular situation. They can also assist an individual vet put the evidence they need to convince a higher-level reviewer that their previous decision was wrong. They can also provide a veteran with an additional formal hearing before a Veterans Law judge.

A New York veteran disability lawyer will give you the individual attention your claim requires. They also have a vast experience handling VA disability claims and are aware of the rules and procedures from top to bottom. Some attorneys are veterans, so they are aware of the difficulties that disabled veterans face. This can lead to a particular type of empathy which can improve the outcome of the case of a disabled veteran.
