What Can Our Benefits Attorney Do For You?

If you go through the entire application process and your benefits claim is denied, or if you’re approved but the claim significantly underpays you based on the benefits you deserve and need, it’s very important to speak with an attorney. You want to do this before you accept a low payout or simply accept the rejection. You may have other options, including the right to an appeal, and a veterans disability lawyer can help you explore them.

For one thing, there are certain deadlines that need to be met during the appeals process. Missing these deadlines could make it more difficult or even impossible to seek the proper benefits, so you need to know exactly what steps to take and when to take them. Our experienced team has been through this many times, so we can examine your unique case and help advise you moving forward. For many appeals, you have one year, but in some cases, you may have less.

Our disability lawyers will also look at the reasons your disability claim was initially denied. For instance, the denial doesn’t mean you’re not disabled; you may need to present more medical evidence to get approval. We can work with medical experts and your healthcare team to get this evidence in order and make the proper submission.

You may also need evidence of service-connected disabilities. We focus on a personalized approach, so we’ll take the time to get to know your case and demonstrate that the disability you’re facing is connected to your time in the armed forces, strengthening your case.

Many people find this process daunting and overwhelming, so they’re quick to accept benefits that are too low or assume that a rejection means they have no other options. This is usually not the case, though, and our experienced team can help you look into all of your options when you need it most. We can help you determine what forms and paperwork you need, when and where to file them, how to demonstrate that you qualify for benefits, how to address issues that may have triggered a denial and much more.
