How to File a Veterans Disability Claim

A veteran's disability claim is an essential element of their benefit application. Many veterans earn tax-free earnings after their claims are approved.

It's not a secret that the VA is a long way behind in processing disability claims for veterans. The decision could take months or even years.

Aggravation

A veteran might be able to claim disability compensation for a condition that was made worse by their military service. This kind of claim can be either mental or physical. A VA lawyer who is competent can help a former military member file an aggravated disabilities claim. The claimant must demonstrate, with medical evidence or independent opinions that their pre-service medical condition was made worse through active duty.

Typically, the best way to prove that a pre-service issue was aggravated is to obtain an independent medical opinion from a physician who specializes in the veteran's disability. In addition to the doctor's opinion the veteran will need to submit medical records and lay statements from family members or friends who can confirm the severity of their pre-service condition.

It is essential to note in a claim for a disability benefit for veterans that the aggravated condition must be different than the original disability rating. Disability lawyers can help former service members provide the necessary medical evidence and testimonies to prove that their original condition wasn't just aggravated by military service, but it was worse than it would have been if the aggravating factor weren't present.

In addressing this issue VA is proposing to change the two "aggravation" standards contained in its regulations - 38 CFR 3.306 and 3.310. The differing language used in these provisions has led to confusion and firm controversies during the claims process. The inconsistent use of words such as "increased disability" and "any increased severity" are the main cause of litigation.

Conditions that are associated with Service

In order for a veteran to be eligible for benefits, they have to prove that their disability or illness is linked to service. This is referred to as "service connection." For some conditions, such as ischemic heart disease, or other cardiovascular diseases that develop as a result of service-connected amputations, a service connection is granted automatically. For other conditions, such as PTSD veterans disability lawsuit are required to provide lay evidence or testimony from those who knew them during the military, in order to connect their condition to a specific incident that took place during their time of service.

A pre-existing medical problem can also be service related in the case that it was aggravated because of active duty and not due to the natural progression of the disease. It is advisable to provide a doctor's report that explains that the aggravation of the condition was caused by service, and not simply the natural progression.

Certain ailments and injuries are believed to have been caused or aggravated by service. They are known as "presumptive diseases." This includes exposure to Agent Orange for Vietnam and Korean veterans and radiation exposure in Prisoners of War, as well as different Gulf War conditions. Certain chronic diseases and tropical illnesses are also believed to have been caused or caused by service. This includes AL amyloidosis and other acne-related illnesses, such as Porphyria Cutanea Tarda, Multiple Sclerosis Tuberculosis and diabetes Mellitus Type 2.

Appeal

The VA has a procedure for appealing their decision to award or deny benefits. The first step is filing a Notice Of Disagreement. If your lawyer is certified by VA and does not take this step for you, then you can complete the process on your own. This form is used by the VA to let them know that you do not agree with their decision, and would like a more thorough review of your case.

There are two ways to get an upper-level review that you should take into consideration. You can request a private meeting with the Decision Review Officer at your local office. The DRO will conduct a de novo appeal (no deference given to the previous decision) and either overturn or affirm the earlier decision. You may be required or not required to submit a new proof. You may also request an appearance before a Veterans Law judge at the Board of Veterans' Appeals, Washington D.C.

It is crucial to discuss these issues with your lawyer who is accredited by the VA. They have experience and know what's best for your case. They are also aware of the difficulties that disabled veterans face and can help them become an effective advocate on your behalf.

Time Limits

You can apply for compensation if you have a disability that you acquired or worsened while serving in the military. It is important to be patient while the VA reviews and decides on your application. It could take up 180 days after your claim is filed before you receive a decision.

There are a variety of factors that affect the time the VA is able to make an decision on your claim. The amount of evidence submitted will play a major role in how quickly your claim is evaluated. The location of the field office handling your claim will also impact the time it takes for the VA to review your claims.

Another factor that can affect the time it takes your claim to be processed is the frequency at which you contact the VA to inquire about the progress of your claim. You can help accelerate the process by submitting proof as soon as you can, being specific in your address information for the medical care facilities you use, and sending any requested information as soon as it's available.

If you think there has been a mistake in the determination of your disability, you can request a higher-level review. This requires you to submit all relevant facts of your case to an experienced reviewer who will determine if there was an error in the original decision. However, this review cannot include any new evidence.
