A VA disability claim is an application for monthly benefits that are tax-free. Compensation is an unpaid benefit that can be used to cover medical costs or housing assistance.

You will receive a letter of determination after the C&P examiner has reviewed your medical evidence and passes the examination.

VA offers three options to take when a claimant is not happy with the decision. First an Senior Reviewer will review the same evidence to determine whether the initial decision could alter based on a divergence of opinion or an absence. This is a viable option for a person who doesn't have new evidence to show and it can be completed within 120 days.

The second alternative is to submit an Supplemental Claim. It is an appeal where the veteran can provide additional evidence, but it has to be new and relevant. It may also contain non-medical evidence, such as lay statements (sworn statements from people who know how your disability affects you). This type of appeal should be filed within one year of a decision.

A third option is to file a formal appeal with the Board of Veterans Appeals. This is done by filing a Notice of Disagreement using VA Form 21-0958. The regional office will draft an SOC (Statement of the Case) when the appeal has been filed. This will include a list evidence that was considered, the regulations and laws used to make the decision, and the reasons for why the decision was favourable, unfavorable or indeterminate.

The last option is to appeal to a federal court in the event that the decision from the BVA is upheld. This is the most difficult option and is costly, but it is the only option to obtain the best possible outcome for your client.
