What is what is VA disability?
The amount of monthly monetary compensation that veterans receive for service-related disabilities is based on their disability rating. The rating is based on the severity of the injury or illness and can range from 0% up to 100% in increments of 10% (e.g. 20%, 20%, 30% etc). The compensation is tax-free, and provides a minimum income to the disabled veteran and their family.
The VA also offers other programs that offer additional compensation like individual unemployment, auto allowance, clothing allowance and hospitalization and prestabilization benefits. These benefits are in addition to basic disability compensation.
The Social Security Administration also gives veterans a special credit they can use to boost their lifetime earnings and be eligible for disability or retirement benefits. These credits are referred to as "credit for service."
Code of Federal Regulations lists a variety of conditions that make a veteran eligible for disability compensation. However, certain circumstances require an expert's opinion. A skilled lawyer with years of experience can assist a client to obtain this opinion and provide the evidence required to prove the claim for disability benefits.

How do I submit a claim?
Veterans must first gather the medical evidence to prove their disability. This includes Xrays, doctor's reports or other documentation related to their medical condition. Providing these records to the VA is essential. 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 make an intent to file. This form allows the VA to review your claim before you have the necessary information and medical records. It also keeps your date of eligibility for compensation benefits when you win your case.
The VA will schedule your exam when all information has been received. The VA will set the date for the examination in accordance with the number of disabilities and the type you claim. Attend this exam as missing it could delay the process of your claim.
The VA will send you a decision-making package when the examinations have been completed. If the VA denies the claim, you'll have a year to request a more extensive review.
At this point, a lawyer can help you. VA-accredited lawyers can now be involved in appeals right from the beginning, which is an enormous benefit for those seeking disability benefits.
How do I appeal a denial?
The denial of disability benefits to veterans can be extremely frustrating. Fortunately the VA has an appeals process for these decisions. The first step is to submit the Notice of Disagreement to the VA regional office, which will then send you the Rating decision. In your notice of disagreement, you should tell the VA the reasons you don't agree with their decision. You don't have to include all the reasons but you should list everything that you disagree on.
You must also request a C-file, or claims file, to see what evidence the VA used to make their decision. Most of the time, there are missing or incomplete records. In some instances it could lead to an error in the rating decision.
When you file your NOD, you must decide whether you want to have your case reviewed by a Decision-Review Officer or by the Board of Veterans Appeals. In general, you'll be more likely to have success with a DRO review than with the BVA.
You can request a personal hearing with an expert in senior rating through the process of a DRO review. The DRO will conduct the review of your claim on a "de de novo" basis, which means that they will not give any deference to the previous decision. This typically results in the issue of a new Rating Decision. If you prefer, you may opt to review your claim with the BVA in Washington. This is the longest appeals process, and it could take up to three years before you receive a new decision.
How much does a lawyer charge?
A lawyer may charge a fee for helping appeal the VA decision on an appeal for disability. The current law does not permit lawyers to charge fees for initial assistance in a claim. This is because the fee has to be dependent on the lawyer prevailing in your case, or getting your benefits increased by an appeal. The fees are typically paid directly from any lump-sum payments you receive from the VA.
Veterans can use the VA's database of accredited attorneys or r.ess.aleoklop.atarget claim agents to find accredited representatives. These people are accredited by the Department of Veterans Affairs and are able to represent service members, veterans or dependents in a wide range of issues such as pension claims, disability compensation and claims.
Most veterans' disability advocates are paid on a contingent basis. They only get paid when they win their client's appeal, and also receive back pay from VA. The amount of back pay that is given varies, but it can be as high as 20 percent of the claimant's past-due benefit award.
In rare cases lawyers or agents might decide to charge an hourly fee. But, this isn't common for two reasons. First, these issues are often time consuming and can last for months or even years. The second reason is that most veterans and their families can't afford to pay for these services on an hourly basis.
