What is an VA Disability?
The amount of monetary compensation per month paid to veterans with service-related disabilities is determined on their disability rating. This rating is based upon the severity of an injury or illness and can range from 0% and 100% in increments of 10% (e.g. 20 percent 30, 30%, etc.). The compensation is tax-free and provides basic income for disabled veterans and their families.
The VA also offers other programs that offer additional compensation, such as individual unemployment, auto allowance, clothing allowance and prestabilization and hospitalization benefits. These benefits are in addition to basic disability compensation.
The Social Security Administration also gives veterans special credits they can utilize to increase their earnings over time to be eligible for disability or retirement benefits. These additional credits are referred to as "credit for service."
Many of the conditions that make disabled veterans for disability benefits are included in the Code of Federal Regulations. Some of these conditions, however, require an expert's opinion. An experienced veteran lawyer can assist clients in obtaining this opinion and provide the evidence needed to support a claim for disability compensation.

How do I file a claim?
Veterans must first find the medical evidence supporting their impairment. This could include X-rays, doctor's reports, as well any other documentation pertaining to the veteran's condition. Giving these records to VA is vital. If a veteran does not have these documents, they must be given to the VA by the claimant or their VSO (veteran service organization).
The next step is to file an intent to file. This form allows the VA review your claim even before you have the necessary information and medical records. It also ensures that you have an date of effective for benefits in the event that you win your case.
The VA will schedule your medical exam after all the required information is received. The VA will schedule an exam based on the amount of disabilities you have and the type you claim. In the event that you do not attend this exam, it could delay the process of submitting your claim.
The VA will send you a decision package after the examinations are completed. If the VA denies your claim you have a year from the date of the letter to request a more thorough review.
At this point, a lawyer can assist you. VA-accredited lawyers are now involved in the appeals right from the beginning, which is a huge benefit for those seeking disability benefits.
How do I appeal a denial?
A denial of veterans disability benefits can be a difficult experience. Fortunately, the VA has an appeals process for these decisions. The first step is to send a Notice Of Disagreement to the VA regional office who sent you the Rating decision. In your Notice Of Disagreement, you should explain to the VA why you were dissatisfied with their decision. You don't have to give 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. Sometimes there are no or insufficient records. In certain cases it could lead to an error in the rating decision.
When you submit your NOD, it will be asked to choose whether you would like your case to be reviewed by a Board of Veterans Appeals or a Decision Review officer. Generally speaking, you will have a better chance of success when you opt for the DRO review DRO review than with the BVA.
You can request a private hearing with a senior rating expert through the process of a DRO review. The DRO will review your claim "de de novo", meaning that they will not rely on the previous decision. This usually results in a completely new Rating Decision. You may also opt to have the BVA in Washington review your claim. This is the most lengthy appeals procedure and can take up to three years for a new decision.
How much can an attorney charge?
Lawyers may charge a fee to help you appeal a VA disability decision. The law in place today does not permit lawyers to charge fees for assistance with a claim in the beginning. This is due to the fact that the fee is contingent upon the lawyer winning your case, or having your benefits increased through an appeal. These fees are usually paid out of any lump-sum payment you receive from the VA.
Veterans are able to search the database of attorneys accredited by the VA or claim agents to locate accredited representatives. They have been vetted by the Department of Veterans Affairs to represent veterans, service members and their dependents as well as survivors in a variety of matters such as disability compensation and pension claims.
The majority of veterans' disability advocates are paid on the basis of a contingent. They only receive compensation when they prevail in their client's appeal and they also receive back pay from VA. The amount of backpay that is awarded can vary, but it can be as high as 20 percent of a claimant's past due benefits.
In rare cases, an agent or attorney may choose to charge on the hourly basis. This is not common due to two reasons. These issues can take months or years to be resolved. In addition, many veterans disability attorneys and their families are unable to afford to pay an hourly rate.
