This rating is determined by the severity of an illness or injury and can vary between 0% and 100% in increments of 10% (e.g. 20% 30, 30%, etc.). The compensation is exempt from tax and provides a minimum income to the disabled veteran and his family.
VA offers additional compensation through other programs, including individual unemployment, clothing allowances as well as prestabilization and hospitalization allowances for automobiles, and hospitalization allowances. These are in addition to the regular disability compensation.

How do I file a claim?
First, veterans must look up the medical evidence supporting their disability. This includes Xrays, doctor's reports or other documentation that relate to their health.

The next step is a filing of an intent to file. This form allows the VA to review your claim before you have the necessary information and medical records. This form also ensures the date of effective compensation benefits in case you succeed in your claim.
The VA will schedule your exam once all of the information is received. The VA will schedule an exam according to the number of disabilities as well as the type you are claiming. In the event that you do not attend this exam, it could delay the process of your claim.
The VA will provide you with a decision package once the examinations have been completed. If the VA refuses to accept the claim you'll have a year to request a higher-level review.
At this point, a lawyer can assist you. Accredited lawyers from VA can be involved in appeals from the start, which is a huge benefit for those who are seeking disability benefits.
How do I appeal a denial?
Denial of disability benefits for veterans can be extremely frustrating. Fortunately that the VA has an appeals procedure for these decisions. The first step is to make a Notice of Disagreement with the VA regional office, which has sent you the Rating Decision. In your Notice of Disagreement you should state to the VA why you are not happy with their decision. You don't need to list all the reasons but you should include everything that you disagree on.
You should also request your C file, or claims file, to determine what evidence the VA used to make their decision. There are often incomplete or missing records. This can sometimes lead to a mistake in the rating.

You can request a private hearing with an expert in senior ratings through an DRO review. The DRO will review your claim "de novo" which means that they will not defer to the previous decision. This typically results in a completely new Rating Decision. You may also decide to request that the BVA in Washington examine your claim. This is the longest appeals process and it can take up to three years to reach an appeal to be heard.
What is the average cost a lawyer can charge?
A lawyer may charge a fee for helping you appeal a VA disability decision. The current law does not allow lawyers to charge fees for assistance with a claim in the beginning. The fee is only due if the lawyer wins your case or increases your benefits by filing an appeal. The fees are typically paid out of any lump-sum payments you receive from the VA.
Veterans can use the VA's database of lawyers accredited to practice or claim agents to locate accredited representatives.

Most veterans' disability advocates are paid on an ad-hoc basis. This means that they will only be paid if they win the client's appeal and are awarded back payment from the VA. The amount of back pay given varies, but it can be as high as 20 percent of the claimant's past-due benefit.
In rare instances an attorney or agent may decide to charge an the basis of an hourly rate. However, this is uncommon due to two reasons. First, these matters are usually time-consuming and can drag on for months or even years. Additionally, many veterans and their families cannot afford to pay for these services on an hourly basis.
