Veterans Disability Lawyers
A veteran disability lawyer will guide you through the entire process of claiming. From collecting medical and service proof to filing an appeal against a denied claim.
Choose a veterans disability attorney who is specialized in handling these cases and knows the VA's system inside and out. This will ensure that your case gets the attention it deserves.
Proving Service Connection
The VA will only provide disability benefits if it's proven that your condition is connected to your military service. This is known as a "nexus. There are different types of evidence you can prove this connection, including medical records as well as independent medical examinations (IME) and the nexus letters of current health professionals or therapists (especially for mental health issues). Sometimes veterans have medically determinable disabilities but are not connected because of incomplete or missing military treatment records. These cases require the help of skilled New York disability attorneys who know how to present an entire claim as well as submit evidence that is backed up by independent experts.
It is simpler to prove a direct service connection when injuries or illnesses occurred while you served in the military. For example, if you suffered head injuries during your time in service and you are suffering headaches and concussions, there is a clear link between the events that led to your current health condition.
It is harder to get service-connected if there was a pre-existing condition that worsened while you were in military service. To prove that your service time has aggravated or exacerbated a pre-existing condition, you will need to present medical evidence that is "clear and undeniable".
Appealing a Denial
The VA will review your case after you have submitted your application and provided medical evidence. It usually issues a decision which either approves or denies benefits. If the decision is deemed unfavorable the veteran has one year to file a Notice of Disagreement. A veterans disability attorney can assist the claimant through the three review options - the supplemental claim, or a higher-level review, or an direct appeal before the Board of Veterans' Appeals.
When selecting when choosing a New York veterans disability lawyer Take into consideration whether they have a good understanding of your military experience and culture of the armed forces. This will make it easier for you and decrease the requirement to explain your situation and experiences in layman's language.
You want a company that will take on your case through the lengthy appeals procedure. Beware of firms that assist you in the initial stages of your claim and then vanish.
An experienced New York veterans disability attorney can assist with all stages of your claim and appeals, including the appeals procedure. They can help you submit additional medical evidence or request a formal hearing and represent you at any Board meetings to ensure your case is dealt with fairly. They can also help you win you benefits like cash compensations, aid or attendance benefits, educational benefits, or unemployment.
Getting a Higher Rating
It could be that your disability becomes worse or your symptoms become more severe. It is logical in this case to request an increase in rating. A veteran disability lawyer can help you in this process and help you collect evidence to prove your claim.
It's not uncommon for the VA to make mistakes that lead to being denied a disability rating lower than you deserve. It's worth getting a professional to check your records for mistakes. They could have missed an injury or left out a problem which could be combined with another disability to earn an even higher rating.
Even if it's been more than one year since your initial rating decision, you still have the option of filing a higher-level review or supplemental claim. This could include a thorough review of your entire file, which could result in modifications to your effective date as well as an updated rating that is more true to the feelings you have.
If you believe that you are entitled to an assessment of 100 percent, or higher, you should consider applying for a supplemental claim. A disability lawyer can help you develop a convincing argument for this type of rating which is reserved only for serious disabilities. For instance the mental health issue might qualify you for an 100% disability rating because it can cause a significant disturbance to your job or frequent periods of hospitalization that don't normally trigger this type of rating for cardiovascular illness or other medical issues.
Assistance with the Appeals Process
Despite what some believe that denying claims for disability by the VA isn't the end of an individual's chance to recover benefits. In fact, a former servicemember can wait one year from date their local veterans hospital or office sends them an unfavorable determination to appeal.
An experienced veterans disability attorney can assist a vet in determining which of the current three pathways for appeal is the best option for his case. They can also help a vet in gathering the evidence required to convince a higher-level reviewer that their previous decision was wrong. They may even be able to provide a veteran with a formal hearing before a Veterans Law Judge.
The best thing about having an New York veteran disability attorney handle your appeal is that they can give you the individual attention your claim needs. They also have a vast experience handling VA disability claims, and they know the rules and procedures from top to bottom. Some lawyers are veterans, so they are aware of the difficulties that disabled veterans face. This can lead to a particular kind of empathy that can help improve the outcome of the case of a disabled veteran.
