Veterans Disability Attorneys

Appeals

Your New York veterans disability lawyer will apply a comprehensive approach to your appeal, whether you are appealing a denial or a rating decision that is not in your favor.

If a veteran disagrees with the decision the veteran could decide to submit a Supplemental Claim. In this instance a senior reviewer will evaluate all the evidence you submitted originally for an opinion and determine whether they believe there was an error in your decision. Veteran may request a hearing on their behalf during this period.

If a veteran is not satisfied with the results of the Higher-Level Review, he or she can move to the Board of Veterans Appeals. This is a more formal procedure where a hearing takes place before the Board of Veterans Appeals. Your New York veteran disability attorney will work with a review officer and judge to ensure that all of your arguments and evidence are effectively presented and argued front of the board member.

Higher-Level Reviews

Veterans who do not agree with their initial decision regarding their claim have three options since February 2019. This is due to the VA Appeals Modernization Act. A Veteran could choose to pursue a Higher Level Review, a Supplemental Claim or Board Appeal. Berry Law Firm will analyze which option is best for each Veteran's particular situation.

The Veteran can request a more thorough review by an VA Claims adjudicator who wasn't involved in the decision making process. The Veteran can also request an informal conference with the adjudicator who is the senior judge to discuss their case.

In some instances, VA may have incorrectly denied an claim for disability, or under-rated a medical condition (granted 30 percent when they should've awarded 50 percent). Sometimes the Veteran might have evidence which was not taken into account in the original decision. It is crucial that the Veteran has a knowledgeable attorney guide them through the process.

The lawyers at Berry Law Firm understand the ins and outs of the current VA claims and appeals processes. They will ensure that your claim is in compliance with all VA requirements for submission and that it is presented in a structured clear and concise manner. If needed, they'll escalate your claim to a Board of Veterans' Appeals.

Legacy Reviews

VA is working to reduce the number of disability claimants. The appeals process can be long and could take an average of 120 working days to get the final decision.

Your veteran's disability lawyer will assist you in gathering the evidence required to prove your claim. This includes medical evidence such as your medical documents, test results, and expert testimony. Your lawyer will also review the military special credits you are entitled to depending on your work experience and service.

Medical Evidence

Veterans seeking disability benefits should have complete medical evidence. An attorney can help you get all of the relevant medical records from private sources, as well as those from the VA healthcare system. These records could include MRIs and CT scans, as well as treatment notes. In addition, the attorney can assist you in requesting service records as well as social security files that are important for your claim. He can also ask the VA to send you to a physician for a C&P examination, which is a prerequisite for an TDIU claim or PTSD claim.

It is essential to have enough medical evidence if the VA denies your claim for the disability rating. A knowledgeable attorney will be able to provide you with the additional evidence you require to be able to get your claim endorsed and get the credit you deserve.

You can also use lay statements, such as letters from family members and friends members, to help establish that your physical limitations have significant effects on your daily life.
