How to File a Veterans Disability Claim

A veteran's disability claim is a critical component of his or her benefit application. Many veterans get tax-free income after their claims are approved.

It's not a secret that VA is behind in processing disability claims of veterans. It can take months or even years for a determination to be made.

Aggravation

A veteran could be eligible to claim disability compensation for a condition worsened by their military service. This type of claim can be either mental or physical. A VA lawyer who is certified can help a former military member submit an aggravated disabilities claim. A claimant has to prove by proving medical evidence or independent opinions that their medical condition prior to serving was made worse by active duty.

Typically, the most effective way to prove that a condition prior to service was aggravated is to get an independent medical opinion by an expert doctor who is specialized in the veteran's disability. In addition to the doctor's statement the veteran is required to submit medical records and lay statements from family or friends who can attest to their pre-service condition.

In a Veterans disability (gaejang.segen.Co.kr) claim it is essential to keep in mind that the condition being aggravated has to be distinct from the initial disability rating. A disability attorney can advise an ex-servicemember on how to provide the proper medical evidence and evidence to show that their condition was not only caused by military service, but actually worse than it would have been without the aggravating factor.

VA proposes to change its two "aggravation standards" in its regulations 38 CFR 3.306 and 3.310. The differing language used in these provisions has led to confusion and controversy in the process of claiming. The inconsistent use of words such as "increased disability" and "any increased severity" have been the cause of litigation.

Conditions that are associated with Service

In order for a veteran to be eligible for benefits, they must demonstrate that their disability or illness is linked to service. This is known as "service connection." For some conditions, like ischemic heart disease, or other cardiovascular diseases that develop as a result of specific service-connected amputations, a service connection is automatically granted. Veterans with other conditions like PTSD are required to provide lay testimony or lay evidence from those who knew them during their time in service to connect their condition to a specific incident that occurred during their military service.

A preexisting medical issue could be a result of service in the case that it was aggravated by their active duty service and not through natural progression of the disease. It is best to provide a doctor's report that explains that the aggravation of the condition was due to service, and not simply the natural progression.

Certain illnesses and injuries are believed to be caused or aggravated due to service. These are called "presumptive diseases." This includes exposure to Agent Orange in Vietnam and Korea veterans radiation exposure in prisoners of War, as well as other Gulf War conditions. Some chronic diseases and tropical illnesses are also thought to be aggravated or caused by military service. These include AL amyloidosis, chloracne or other acne-related conditions Porphyria Cutanea Tighta, tuberculosis and multiple sclerosis and diabetes mellitus type 2.

Appeals

The VA has a system to appeal their decision regarding whether or not to award benefits. The first step is to file a Notice of Disagreement. If your VA-accredited lawyer will not complete this task for the client, then you must do it yourself. This form is used to notify the VA that you are not satisfied with their decision and that you'd like to have a more thorough review of your case.

There are two paths to an upscale review, both of which you should carefully consider. 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 to the decision made previously) and either overturn or affirm the decision made earlier. It is possible that you will be able not to submit new proof. The other option is to request an appointment before an Veterans Law Judge from the Board of Veterans' Appeals in Washington, D.C.

It's important to discuss all of these issues with your VA-accredited lawyer. They'll have experience in this area and will know what makes sense for your particular case. They also know the issues faced by disabled veterans and can be more effective advocates on your behalf.

Time Limits

If you suffer from a physical or mental impairment that was caused or aggravated in the military, you may file a claim to receive compensation. It is important to be patient while the VA evaluates and makes a decision on your claim. It may take up to 180 days after the claim has been filed before you are given a decision.

Numerous factors can affect the time it takes for the VA to determine your claim. The amount of evidence submitted is a significant factor in how quickly your application is considered. The location of the field office that is responsible for your claim will also impact how long it takes for the VA to review your claim.

Another factor that can affect the time it takes for your claim to be processed is how often you contact the VA to check the status of your claim. You can help accelerate the process by providing evidence whenever you can and by providing specific address details for the medical facilities you use, and submitting any requested information immediately when it becomes available.

If you believe that there has been a mistake in the decision made regarding your disability, you may request a more thorough review. This means that you submit all the existing facts in your case to an expert reviewer who can determine if there was an error in the initial decision. However, this review cannot include new evidence.
