Ways to Win or Increase VA Disability Compensation
If you are a veteran who sustained serious injuries or developed a serious physical or mental health condition as a direct result of your military service, you may be eligible for disability benefits from the VA. Unfortunately, not every disability claim is approved or given the proper compensation rating.
Common Reasons for Denial
The requirements for VA disability compensation state that the claimant must be a veteran with a current disability that is service connected. Within those requirements are 2 common reasons for the VA to deny your claim or assign too low of a rating: 1) you could not prove that the disability was service-related or 2) the severity of the disability did not warrant a higher rating.
At The Standridge Law Firm, P.C., we are dedicated to helping veterans fight for the benefits they deserve for their disability. We will work with you in the appeals process to provide evidence that substantiates your claim for VA disability compensation.
Ways to Fight for Your Appeal
When you entrust your appeals claim to our veteran’s disability benefits attorneys, we will gather the appropriate medical and factual evidence you need to fight for your claim. We have access to resources including medical experts who will thoroughly examine your conditions, scrutinize your symptoms, and find ways to meet the VA’s regulations for increasing your disability’s rating.
Many veterans are not aware that some of their symptoms may increase the likelihood of increasing their rating and therefore do not report them. Our medical experts will discover these symptoms and determine where they fit into your claim.
Our veterans rights attorneys are committed to helping you fight for your benefits claim, and we are ready and willing to take your case up to the U.S. Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims. In fact, in New Mexico David Standridge of The Standridge Law Firm, P.C. is one of only 6 attorneys licensed to practice at this level.
