What is what is VA Disability?
The amount of monetary compensation per month provided to veterans suffering from disabilities resulting from service is based on their disability rating. This rating is determined by the severity of an illness or injury, and can range between 0% and 100% in increments of 10% (e.g. 20% 30%, 20 percent, etc.). The compensation is tax-free, and provides a minimum income for disabled veterans disability lawyers and their families.
The VA also offers other programs that offer additional compensation such as individual unemployability, automobile allowance, clothing allowance and prestabilization and hospitalization benefits. These are in addition to the standard disability compensation.
In addition to these benefit programs, in addition, the Social Security Administration gives military veterans special credit to boost their earnings over the course of their lives for disability or retirement benefits. These credits are referred to as "credit for service."
A majority of the conditions that allow veterans for disability compensation are described in the Code of Federal Regulations. However, a few of these conditions require an expert's opinion. An experienced veteran lawyer can assist clients in obtaining this opinion and provide the evidence required to prove an application for disability compensation.

How do I claim a benefit?
The first step is to track down the medical evidence to prove their impairment. This includes X-rays or doctor's reports, as any other documentation pertaining to the veteran's condition. It is important to provide these documents to the VA. If a veteran doesn't have these documents and the VA should be notified by the applicant (or their VSO).
The next step is the filing of an intention to file. This form allows the VA to review your claim before you have all the information and medical records you require. It also protects your effective date for receiving compensation when you win your case.
If all the required information is in when all the information is in, the VA will schedule an examination for you. The VA will set the date for the examination according to the amount of disabilities you have and the type you claim. Make sure that you take this test, because should you miss it and fail to take it, it could hinder your claim.
The VA will send you a decision package after the tests have been completed. If the VA refuses to accept your claim, you have one year from the date of the letter to request a more thorough review.
At this point, a lawyer can assist you. Lawyers who are accredited by the VA can now be involved in the appeals process from the beginning, which is a an enormous benefit to people seeking disability benefits.
How do I appeal a denial?
Denial of benefits for disability suffered by veterans can be a source of frustration. The VA offers an appeals procedure for these decisions. The first step is to submit a Notice to Disagreement with the VA regional office that has sent you the Rating Decision. In your Notice of Disagreement, you should explain to the VA the reasons why you did not agree with their decision. You don't need to list every reason however, you must mention all the points you disagree with.
It's also crucial to request your C-file (claims file) so you can see the evidence the VA used to make their decision. There are often documents that are not complete or have been deleted. This can lead to a mistake in the rating.
When you submit your NOD, the applicant will be asked to decide if you would like your case to be reviewed by the Board of Veterans Appeals or a Decision Review officer. In general, you'll be more likely to have success with a DRO review than with the BVA.
When you request the DRO review, you have the option of requesting an individual hearing before a senior rating specialist. The DRO will conduct an investigation of your claim on the basis of a "de novo" basis, meaning they do not give 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 longest appeals process, and it could take approximately three years to get an update on the decision.
How much can a lawyer charge?
A lawyer can charge a fee for helping you appeal an VA decision regarding a disability claim. However, current law prevents lawyers from charging fees to assist with a claim. This is due to the fact that the fee must be contingent on the lawyer winning your case, or getting your benefits increased by an appeal. Typically these fees are paid directly from the lump-sum payments that you receive from the VA.
Veterans can use the VA's database of lawyers accredited to practice or claim agents to locate accredited representatives. These representatives are accredited by the Department of veterans disability lawyer Affairs and are able to represent service members, veterans or their dependents in a wide spectrum of cases including pension claims and disability compensation claims.
Most disability advocates for veterans are paid on the basis of a contingent. This means that they only get paid if they are successful in winning the appeal of the client and receive back payment from the VA. The amount of back pay that is given varies, but it can be as high as 20 percent of the claimant's total past-due benefits.
In rare cases, an agent or lawyer might decide to charge an hourly rate. This is not common due to two reasons. These matters can take a long time to resolve. In addition, the majority of veterans and their families are unable to afford to pay on an hourly basis.
