What is an VA disability?
The amount of monthly monetary compensation provided to veterans suffering from service connected disabilities is based on their disability rating. This rating is determined by the severity of an illness or injury and can vary between 0% and 100% in increments of 10 percent (e.g. 20 percent 30, 30 percent, etc.). The compensation is tax-free, and provides a minimum income to the disabled veteran and their family.
VA offers additional compensation through other programs, including individual unemployment allowances for clothing, hospitalization and prestabilization, car allowances, and hospitalization allowances. These benefits are in addition to basic disability compensation.
In addition to these benefit programs, in addition, the Social Security Administration gives military veterans extra credits to increase their earnings over the course of their lives for retirement or disability benefits. These additional credits are known as "credit for service."

How do I file a claim?
The first step is to track down the medical evidence that supports their condition. This includes X-rays and doctor's notes or other evidence that relate to their health. Giving these records to VA is crucial. If a veteran does not have these documents and the VA must be informed by the claimant (or their VSO).
The next step is to make an intent to file. This form allows the VA to review your claim before you have the proper information and medical records. This form also ensures the date on which you will receive your compensation benefits in case you win your case.
When all the information is provided When all the information is submitted, the VA will arrange an examination for you. This will be dependent on the quantity and type of disability you claim. If you fail to attend this test, it could delay the processing of your claim.
The VA will send you a decision document when the examinations have been completed. If the VA refuses to accept your claim, you have a year from the date of the letter to request a higher-level review.
At this stage, a lawyer is able to assist you. Attorneys accredited by VA can be involved in the appeals process right from the beginning, which is an enormous benefit for those who seek disability benefits.
How do I appeal a denial?
Denial of disability benefits for veterans is a frustrating experience. The VA offers an appeals procedure to appeal these decisions. The first step is to send an Notice of Disagreement to the VA regional office, which will then send you the decision on Rating. In your Notice Of Disagreement, you must explain to the VA why you are not happy with their decision. You don't need to list every reason, but you must list all the points you disagree with.
It's also important to request your C-file (claims file) so you can see the evidence that the VA used in making their decision. In many cases there are no or incomplete records. In some instances, this can lead to an error in the rating decision.
After you have submitted your NOD, you'll be asked to choose whether you would like your case to be reviewed by the Board of veterans disability Appeals or a Decision Review officer. In general, you'll be more likely to have success with a DRO review than with the BVA.
With an DRO review you can request an individual hearing with an experienced senior rating specialist. The DRO will conduct an examination of your claim on an "de novo" basis, meaning they will not give any deference to the previous decision. This typically results in an entirely new Rating Decision. You can also request that the BVA in Washington review your claim. This is the most lengthy appeals process and can take up to three years for a new decision.
How much will a lawyer charge?
A lawyer can charge a fee if you appeal an VA decision regarding an appeal for disability. The law as it stands today does not allow lawyers to charge for initial assistance in a claim. The fee is only due if the lawyer wins your case or increases your benefits through an appeal. These fees are usually paid out of any lump-sum payment you receive from the VA.
Veterans can search the VA's database of accredited attorneys or claim agents to locate accredited representatives. These people have been accredited by the Department of Veterans Affairs to represent veterans, service members or their dependents in a variety of issues such as disability compensation and pension claims.
The majority of veterans' disability advocates are paid on the basis of a contingent. They only get paid when they are successful in defending their client's case, and they receive back pay from VA. The amount of back pay awarded varies, but can be as much as 20 percent of the claimant's total benefits.
In rare cases, an agent or lawyer could decide to charge an hourly fee. But, this isn't common for two reasons. First, these issues tend to be time-consuming and can drag on for months or even years. The second reason is that most veterans and their families cannot afford to pay on an hourly basis.
