We are committed to serving those who have served our country. We are dedicated to helping veterans navigate the challenging Veterans Affairs (VA) benefits system and secure the support they deserve. 

VETERAN’S ASSISTANCE 

If you are injured while on active military duty, and your injuries prevent you from working either partially or completely, you may be entitled to veteran’s compensation. Veteran’s Disability Benefits are distinct from Social Security Disability Insurance Benefits, and oftentimes, a veteran can receive monetary benefits from both programs. 

 
The men and women who served our country suffer from a wide range of physical and mental health problems related to their service, including but not limited to: 

  • Loss of limb(s) 
  • PTSD 
  • Depression 
  • Traumatic Brain Injury 
  • Orthopedic or back problems 
  • Toxic Chemical Exposure 

The veterans system is complicated, and the process, paperwork, and waiting time involved in filing a veteran’s compensation claim can be confusing, long, and frustrating. Whether you are just beginning the application process or you have been denied and are preparing an appeal, we know the law and the process, and our trusted co-counsel can help.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What is a veteran disability claim?

A veteran disability claim is a request for compensation and benefits from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) for injuries, illnesses, or conditions that were caused or worsened by military service. These claims help veterans receive financial support and medical care related to their service-connected disabilities.

What does “service-connected disability” mean?

A service-connected disability means your injury or condition was caused or made worse by your time in the military. The VA uses this connection to determine eligibility for disability compensation and benefits.

How does the VA decide disability ratings?

The VA assigns disability ratings in percentages from 0% to 100% based on how severe your condition is. The higher the rating, the greater the monthly compensation and benefits a veteran may receive. Ratings can also be combined if you have multiple service-related conditions..

What compensation may be available through VA disability benefits?

Depending on your rating and situation, benefits may include:

  • Monthly disability payments
  • Medical care through the VA
  • Housing or housing assistance benefits
  • Vocational rehabilitation
  • Support for dependents in some cases

Can I file a claim for conditions that developed after service?

Yes. Some service-related conditions do not appear until years after discharge. If you can show the condition is connected to your military service, you may still be eligible for benefits.
