Denial of veterans' disability benefits is a frustrating experience. The VA provides an appeals procedure for these decisions. The first step is to send an Notice of Disagreement to the VA regional office that sent you the decision on Rating. In your Notice of Disparage, you must tell the VA the reasons you don't agree with their decision. You don't need to list every reason, but you must list all the points you don't agree with.
It is also essential to request your C-file (claims file) so that you can review the evidence the VA used to make their decision. There are usually documents that are not complete or have been deleted. In certain cases this could lead to an error in the rating decision.
If you file your NOD, it will be asked if you would like your case reviewed by the Board of Veterans Appeals or a Decision Review officer. Generally speaking, you'll have a greater chance of success when you opt for a DRO review than with the BVA.
With the DRO review you have the option of requesting an individual hearing before an experienced senior rating specialist.

This typically results in an entirely new Rating Decision. If you prefer, you may opt to review your claim with the BVA in Washington. This is the most lengthy appeals procedure and can take up to three years to reach an appeal to be heard.

A lawyer can charge a fee for helping appeal a VA decision regarding an appeal for disability. However, current law prohibits lawyers from charging fees to assist in a claim. This is because the fee must be contingent on the lawyer winning your case or receiving your benefits increased as a result of an appeal. The fees are typically paid out of any lump-sum payment you receive from the VA.
Veterans can search the VA's database of lawyers accredited to practice or claim agents to locate accredited representatives. These individuals have been approved by the Department of Veterans Affairs to represent service members, veterans, dependents, or survivors in a range of issues such as disability compensation and pension claims.
Most disability advocates for veterans are paid on the basis of a contingent. They only get paid when they prevail in their client's appeal and they receive back pay from VA. The amount of backpay paid can vary, but it can be as high as 20 percent of a claimant's past-due benefits.
In rare instances, an agent or lawyer may choose to charge an hourly rate. But, this isn't common for two reasons. These matters can take months or years to be resolved. The second reason is that most veterans and their families cannot afford to pay for these services on an hourly basis.
