Our South Carolina Veterans Disability Lawyers Are Ready to Help

Consider the following:

We Will Determine the Reason For Your Application’s Denial (or Your Low Rating)

Some reasons for denials include:

• The information you gave VA doesn’t match with their records.
• You didn’t give VA enough information to tie your condition to your time in the military.
• You failed to undergo a recommended compensation and pension (C&P) exam.
• You didn’t fill out all required forms completely and accurately.

Applying for VA disability benefits isn’t easy, so it’s completely normal to be overwhelmed by the paperwork and obligations that come with this process. Once we review the reason for your claim’s denial, we can work toward an appeal.

We’re Ready to Manage Everything the Appeals Process Entails

After evaluating the reason for your claim’s denial, we will:

• File a Notice of Disagreement (NOD). This tells VA that you’re interested in pursuing an appeal.
• Wait for VA’s decision. After getting your NOD, your local VA office will review your application again, then send you a written statement explaining why it was denied. We may provide VA with supplemental information to bolster your claim.
• Present your case to the Board of Veterans’ Appeal. Here, we’ll file your appeal-related paperwork and determine whether a hearing with a Veterans Law Judge could help you.

Then, our team will guide you through any necessary hearings or meetings. We don’t want you to worry about managing the appeals process on your own – we will do everything possible to secure the benefits you deserve.

Commonly Asked Questions About the Veterans Disability Process

We want you to understand everything about getting the benefits you need. Here are some questions we commonly get from veterans:

How Long Does It Take to Receive Benefits?

According to VA, it generally takes about 150 days to process a veteran’s disability claim. Yet, this process may be longer or shorter depending on:

• The type of claim you filed
• The evidence you submitted with your application
• How many claims VA is currently processing
• Your application’s complexity

If your claim is denied, you could wait months or even years to get benefits. We understand that you want benefits now. So, we will do everything possible to ensure your application’s strength, accuracy, and completion.

What Can I Get Once I’m Approved For Benefits?

If your appeal succeeds and you get benefits, you may qualify for:

• Monthly cash payments
• Educational programs
• Home loans
• Life insurance plans
• Healthcare benefits
• Funeral and burial expenses
• Pensions

You also gain access to services offered by VA clinics, such as dental care services and eye vision exams.

Why is My Disability Rating Important?

When VA gives you a disability rating, it determines your condition’s severity and monthly payments. For instance, suppose that you get a 20 percent disability rating – you would get $301.74 a month.

Your application should show the full extent of your condition, as this allows VA to assign a disability rating that reflects your financial needs.

Do I Have to Work with a Disability Benefits Lawyer?

The fact is, you don’t have to work with a lawyer during the appeals process. However, working with one could make the difference between a denied claim and an approved one.

Our experience proves invaluable in these situations. We encourage you to consider the benefits of partnering with our firm.
