veterans disability lawsuit Disability Litigation

A lawyer can help veterans file an initial disability claim or contest an VA decision regarding the claim. Currently, lawyers are not permitted to charge for initial claims.

Monk alleges that the VA refused to grant him benefits based on PTSD and an unfavorable discharge. The VA offers a comprehensive appeals procedure to rectify any unfavorable decisions.

What is a VA Disability Claim?

A VA disability claim is an application for veterans monthly benefits that are tax-free. Compensation offers a cash reward to cover things like housing and medical treatment. Dependency and Indemnity Compensation (DIC) offers an amount of money to spouses, children and parents of service members who have died while on active duty or through service-related injuries.

Tinnitus is the most frequently reported disorder. This symptom occurs when you hear ringing, hissing, buzzing, or other sounds coming from one or both ears and is only heard by you, as opposed to others who also have it.

Sciatica is one of the conditions that is easier to qualify for. Sciatica happens when a herniated disc bone spur causes compression of the sciatic nerve. This nerve runs from your lower spine, through your buttocks, hips, and down your legs. The numbness and pain can be felt in the buttocks and lower legs as well as the feet, and can be very severe.

The 3rd most simple condition to qualify for is Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). You may experience recurring nightmares or extreme anxiety or depression, or a recurring thought about an incident that occurred during your military service. You can get the PTSD rating that you deserve by making a convincing claim and citing an event that occurred during your military service. A head injury that is traumatizing is the fourth most common condition to get a rating for, and it usually comes with a PTSD diagnosis.

How do I file a VA Disability Claim?

There are a variety of procedures to follow to make an application. You must first present medical evidence, such as a doctor’s opinion, lab results and X-rays, to prove that your condition falls within VA's definition of disability. It is usually beneficial to have a lawyer collect this medical evidence and include it in your initial application so that the VA can process it faster.

Then, you must undergo an exam for Compensation and Pensions (C&P). This will be performed by an federal VA rater who will examine your physical and medical conditions to determine if you qualify for disability benefits. It is essential to have the required documentation prior to taking the exam so that you can maximize your chances of obtaining the benefits you deserve.

Once the C&P examiner has assessed your medical evidence and completed the examination and analyzed your medical evidence, you will receive an official decision letter. It will contain an introduction, a decision of your disability classification and the specific amount, a list of the medical evidence they considered and a statement of any reasons why they decided against you when they made their decision.

Our firm can help you with the appeals procedure if your claim has been denied or if you have received a rating that does not adequately compensate you for the ailments you're experiencing. We can determine the reasons behind why your claim was denied and draft a thorough and strategic appeal to resolve the issue to your satisfaction.

What can I do to challenge a VA decision?

VA offers three options to those who are dissatisfied with a decision. The first is a Higher-Level Review where a senior reviewer will examine the same evidence again and decide if the original decision could be modified due to a difference of opinion or an error made. This option is available to those who do not have new evidence to provide. The process can be completed within about 125 days.

You can also submit an Supplemental Claim. It is an appeal where veterans can add new evidence, but it has to be new and relevant. It could also include non-medical evidence, such as lay statements (sworn statements of people who understand how your condition affects you). This type of appeal must be filed within one year after the date of a decision.

A third alternative is to make a formal appeal to the Board of Veterans Appeals. This is done by filing a VA Form 21-0958, also known as a Notice Of Disagreement. The regional office will prepare an SOC (Statement of the case) when the appeal has been filed. This will contain a list evidence that was taken into consideration, the regulations and laws used in making the decision, as well as the reasons why the decision was favorable, not favorable, or indeterminate.

The final option is to appeal to a federal court in the event that the decision of the BVA is confirmed. This is the most costly and time-consuming option, but it could be the only way to get a fair outcome for your client.

How Much Will a Lawyer Charge for appeals?

A veteran disability lawyer can help to clarify the appeals procedure. They can quickly determine what was missing from your initial claim in order to qualify it for review and will help you determine the best method to appeal an appeal. Examining the reasons behind the decision, assisting you in preparing medical evidence to support your claim, and presenting the evidence in a professional manner is all aspects of the job.

If a judge requires a disabled veteran to pay alimony ordered by the court or child support, the veteran isn't able to disregard the order and continue to collect VA compensation benefits. This is a well-recognized law and there are penalties for breaking a court's order.

A recent settlement in a class action lawsuit could be a major victory for veterans with PTSD. Medical News Today reports that the settlement will provide lifetime benefits for thousands of veterans previously denied disability benefits.

Jim is a 58-year veteran who had a stroke which left him permanently disabled. He receives a pension from the VA but also SSI and Medicaid payments. Jim is interested in knowing how his anticipated $100,000 settlement will affect his eligibility to receive these benefits. Jim knows that he has to prove that he has the financial need to continue receiving the monthly Pension payment, but is wondering what can be done to reduce the effect on his other sources of income.
