The amount of monthly monetary compensation paid to veterans with disabilities resulting from service is based on their disability rating. This rating is based on the severity of the illness or injury and can be as low as 0% and up to 100% in increments of 10 percent (e.g. 20%, 20 percent, 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 such as individual unemployment, auto allowance, clothing allowance and hospitalization and prestabilization benefits. These benefits are in addition to the basic disability compensation.

How do I submit a claim?

Veterans must first gather the medical evidence to prove their disability. This includes Xrays or doctor's reports, as with any other documentation that is related to the veteran's condition. Providing these records to the VA is vital. If a veteran doesn't have these documents, they should be provided to the VA by the claimant or their VSO (veteran service organization).

The next step is a filing of an intention to file. This form permits the VA to begin reviewing your claim even before you have all the information and medical records you need. It also ensures that you have an date of effective for benefits in the event that you win your case.

When all the information is provided, the VA will schedule an examination for you. The VA will schedule an examination depending on the amount of disabilities you have and the type of disability you claim. Be sure to take this exam, as should you miss it this could affect your claim.

How do I appeal a denial?

A denial of disability benefits can be a gruelling experience. Fortunately there is a way to appeal the decision. VA has an appeals procedure for these decisions. The first step is to file a Notice of Disagreement with the VA regional office which sent you the Rating Decision. In your Notice of Disparage, you have to tell the VA why you are not happy with their decision. You don't have to give every reason, but you should state all the issues that you disagree with.

You should also request your C file, or claims file, to see the evidence that the VA used to arrive at their decision. There are often incomplete or missing data. This can sometimes lead to an error in the rating.

When you file your NOD, you will need to decide if you would like to have your case considered by a Decision Review Officer or by the Board of Veterans Appeals. In general, you will be more likely to have success when you opt for the DRO review DRO review than with the BVA.

You can request a private hearing with an expert in senior ratings through the process of a DRO review. The DRO will conduct the review of your claim on an "de de novo" basis, which means they do not give deference to the previous decision. This usually results in the issue of a new Rating Decision. You can also have the BVA in Washington review your claim. This is the most lengthy appeals process and can take approximately three years to get an update on the decision.

What is the average amount an attorney can charge?

Lawyers may charge a fee for helping you appeal a VA disability decision. But, current law prohibits lawyers from charging fees for assistance with a claim. The fee is only due in the event that the lawyer wins your case or increases your benefits via an appeal. Typically the fees are paid out of 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 find accredited representatives.

Most disability advocates for veterans are paid on an ad-hoc basis. 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 granted varies, but could be as much as 20 percent of the claimant's past-due benefits.

In rare cases, an agent or attorney may decide to charge an the hourly basis. But, this isn't common due to two reasons. First, these matters can be time-consuming and can drag on for months or even years. In addition, the majority of veterans disability lawyer and their families can't afford to pay on an hourly basis.
