Veteran Disability Eligibility

To be eligible for Veterans Affairs disability benefits:

• You must have served in active military, naval or air service and been discharged under conditions other than dishonorable.
• Your disability must be linked to, or aggravated by, your military service.
• You need supporting medical records to show how the condition impacts your daily life.

If your initial claim is denied, you may appeal. Your chances of success increase with legal representation.

Reasons For Veteran And Social Security Disability Claim Denials

Common reasons for denial include:

• Lack of evidence: Insufficient medical documentation can result in a denial.
• Low disability rating: Even if accepted, you may receive a lower rating than expected, reducing your benefits.
• Missed deadlines: Failing to meet strict deadlines for filing claims and appeals can lead to denials.
• Complex application process: Mistakes during the application process can also result in denials.

These scenarios demand swift interventions to help ensure a strong case and mitigate potential risks. Our team can review your case, identify areas that need improvement and assist you in preparing your appeal.
