What is an VA Disability?
The amount of monetary compensation per month given to veterans with disabilities resulting from service is based on their disability rating. The rating is based on the severity of an illness or injury and can range from zero and 100% in increments of 10 percent (e.g. 20 percent 30 percent, 30 percent, etc.). The amount is devoid of tax and provides a minimum income to the disabled veteran and his family.
The VA also has other programs that provide additional compensation, such as individual unemployability, automobile allowance, clothing allowance and hospitalization and prestabilization benefits. These benefits are in addition to the basic disability compensation.
In addition to these benefit programs in addition, the Social Security Administration gives military veterans special credits to increase their lifetime earnings for disability or retirement benefits. These additional credits are referred to as "credit for service."
A majority of the conditions that allow a veteran for disability compensation are mentioned in the Code of Federal Regulations. Certain of these conditions however, require an expert's opinion. A skilled lawyer with years of experience can assist a client in obtaining this opinion and provide the evidence required to support an application for disability compensation.

How do I claim a benefit?
First, veterans must track down the medical evidence to prove their disability. This includes X-rays, doctor's reports or any other documentation that relate to their medical condition. The submission of these records to the VA is vital. If a veteran does not have these documents, they should be given to the VA by the claimant or their VSO (veteran service organization).
The next step is a filing of an intent to file. This form permits the VA to review your claim before you have all the medical records you need. This form also ensures the date of effective compensation benefits in case you succeed in your claim.
The VA will schedule your examination once all of the information has been received. This will be dependent on the number and type of disabilities you are claiming. In the event that you do not attend this exam, it could delay the processing of your claim.
The VA will send you a decision package when the examinations have been completed. If the VA denies the claim, you'll have one year to request a higher-level review.
A lawyer can assist you in this situation. Lawyers who are accredited by VA can now be involved in appeals from the beginning, which is a huge advantage for those seeking disability benefits.
How do I appeal a denial?
A refusal of veterans disability benefits can be a very frustrating experience. The VA offers an appeals procedure to appeal these decisions. The first step is to send an Notice of Disagreement to the VA regional office that sent you the decision on Rating. In your Notice of Disagreement you must inform the VA the reason you don't like their decision. It is not necessary to list every reason, but you should be clear about the issues you disagree with.
It is also essential to request your C-file (claims file) to see the evidence that the VA used to make their decision. Sometimes there are gaps or incomplete records. This can result in a mistake in the rating.
After you have submitted your NOD, the applicant will be asked if you want your case reviewed either by an Board of Veterans Appeals or a Decision Review officer. In general you'll have a higher chance of success if the DRO reviews your case than when it's reviewed by the BVA.
When you request an DRO review, you have the option of requesting a personal hearing before an experienced senior rating specialist. The DRO will conduct the review of your claim on the basis of a "de novo" basis, which means that they will not give deference to the previous decision. This typically results in a new Rating Decision. Alternately, you can opt to review your claim with the BVA in Washington. This is the most time demanding appeals process and usually can take between one and three years for an updated decision.
What is the average amount an attorney can charge?
Lawyers may charge a fee to help you appeal a VA disability decision. The current law does not permit lawyers to charge fees for initial assistance in a claim. The fee is only payable if the lawyer wins your case or increases your benefits via an appeal. These fees are usually paid out of any lump-sum payment you receive from the VA.
Veterans are able to search the database of accredited attorneys or claim agents to find accredited representatives. They are vetted by the Department of Pataskala Veterans Disability Lawsuit Affairs and can represent veterans, service members or dependents in a wide range of issues such as disability compensation claims and pension claims.
Most veterans' disability advocates operate on a contingent basis. This means that they will only be paid if they are successful in winning the appeal of the client and receive back pay from the VA. The amount of backpay that is paid can vary but it could be as high as 20 percent of a claimant's past-due benefits.
In rare cases lawyers or agents might decide to charge an hourly rate. This is not common due to two reasons. First, these issues are often time consuming and can drag on for months or even years. Second, many veterans and their families don't afford to pay an hourly fee.
