Veterans Disability Litigation

A lawyer can help veterans disability lawsuits file an initial claim for disability or to contest a VA decision. But, the law in place today prohibits lawyers from charging fees for assistance with the initial claim.

Monk alleges that the VA refused to grant him benefits because of PTSD and an unfavorable discharge. The VA has an extensive appeals process for rectifying any decisions that are not in the best interest of the public.

What Is an VA Disability Claim?

A VA disability claim is a way to apply for tax-free monthly benefits. Compensation is cash benefits that can be used to cover medical costs or housing assistance. Dependency and Indemnity Compensation (DIC) provides a monetary benefit to spouses, children and parents of Service members who died in active duty or due to their service-related disabilities.

The most common condition to claim is Tinnitus (ringing in the ear). It is a condition that can be experienced when you hear ringing in your ears, the sound of hissing or buzzing sounds, or any other sounds that are only able to hear them.

Sciatica is one of the conditions that is easier to qualify for. Sciatica occurs when a herniated disc or bone spur causes compression of your sciatic nerve. The sciatic nerve is located in your lower spine to your buttocks, hips, and down your legs. The lower and buttocks are susceptible to being affected by discomfort and the numbness.

Post Traumatic Stress (PTSD) is the third most common condition that you can be eligible for. This occurs when you experience constant nightmares, extreme anxiety or depression or uncontrollable thoughts about an incident which occurred during your military service. A strong statement in support of the claim with the stressor that occurred during your service can help you receive the PTSD rating you merit. A traumatic head injury is the fourth easiest condition to prove and usually comes with an PTSD diagnosis.

How do I file a VA Disability Claim?

There are many steps to be followed to file an application. First, you must submit medical evidence, like medical opinion from a physician and lab results as well as the X-rays that prove your condition is within VA's definition of disability. It is often helpful for a lawyer to collect the medical evidence and include it in your initial application so that the VA can process it faster.

You must then undergo an exam called Compensation and Pensions (C&P). This will be performed by an official from the federal VA rater who will assess your symptoms and physical condition to decide whether or not you qualify for disability benefits. You must have all the documentation required in order to maximize your chances of obtaining benefits.

Once the C&P examiner has assessed the medical evidence you submitted and has completed the exam and analyzed your medical evidence, you will receive an official decision letter. The letter will include an introduction, the decision of your disability and amount, a list and details of all medical evidence considered and the reasons for their decision.

We can analyze the reasons for the reason your claim was denied and craft a comprehensive and strategic appeal to end the matter in your favor.

How do I challenge a VA Decision?

VA provides three options to applicants who disagree with a decision. First, a Senior Veterans Disability Reviewer will review the same evidence and determine if the original decision can alter based on a divergence of opinion or error. This is an option for those who do not have new evidence to prove. It can be completed within one hundred and fifty days.

The second alternative is to file an Supplemental Claim. It is an appeal where a veteran may add new evidence, but it must be relevant and new. It can also include nonmedical evidence, like lay statements. These are statements that are sworn by people who understand how your disability affects you. This type of appeal should be made within a year after a decision.

Thirdly, you can make a formal complaint to the Board of Veterans Appeals. This is done by filing a Notice of Disagreement using VA Form 21-0958. After the appeal has been filed, the regional office will prepare a Statement of the Case or SOC which will describe the laws and regulations that were used to reach the decision, and a list of evidence considered, and it will also explain the reasons for the decision as either favorable, unfavorable, or indeterminate.

The final option is to appeal to a federal court if the decision of the BVA is upheld. This is the most expensive and difficult route, but it might be the only option to get a fair outcome for your client.

How much will a lawyer charge for an appeal?

A skilled veteran disability attorney will help you understand the appeals process. They will quickly determine what is missing from your claim, making it eligible to be reviewed and help you determine the best way to appeal a decision. The task involves analyzing the reasons for denial, assisting you in preparing medical evidence to support your claim, and presenting the evidence in a correct manner.

If a court orders a disabled veteran to pay alimony ordered by the court or child support, the veteran isn't allowed to ignore the order and continue to receive VA compensation benefits. This is a law that is well-known and there are penalties for breaking a court's order.

A recent settlement of a class action lawsuit may be a major victory for veterans suffering from PTSD. Medical News Today reports the settlement will result thousands of veterans who were previously not eligible for disability benefits to receive lifetime benefits.

Jim is a veteran of 58 years who suffered a stroke that caused him to be permanently disabled. He receives a pension from the VA as well as SSI and Medicaid payments. Jim wants to know how his expected $100,000 settlement will affect his ability to claim these benefits. Jim knows that he has to demonstrate that he is financially in need to continue receiving the monthly Pension payment, but he is wondering what can be done to minimize the effect on his other sources of income.
