How to File a Veterans Disability Claim

A veterans disability claim is a request for compensation due to an injury or illness that is connected to military service. It can also be a request for dependency and indemnity payment (DIC) for surviving spouses and dependent children.

A veteran might need to submit evidence to support an claim. The claimant can speed the process by making appointments for medical examinations and sending documents requested promptly.

Identifying the presence of a disability

The possibility of ill-health and injuries that result from service in the military, including muscle and joint disorders (sprains arthritis, sprains and so on. ) and respiratory issues and loss of hearing are extremely common among veterans disability lawyers. These injuries and illnesses are usually considered to be eligible for disability compensation at a higher rate than other ailments due to their long-lasting effects.

If you were diagnosed as having an illness or injury while on active duty and the VA will require evidence that it was caused by your service. This includes medical records from private hospitals as well as clinics relating to the injuries or illnesses as well in statements from friends and family about your symptoms.

The most important thing to consider is how serious your condition is. Veterans who are younger can generally recover from bone and muscle injuries, as long as they work at it but as you get older, the chances of recovery from these conditions decrease. It is important that veterans file a claim for disability when their condition is serious.

The people who have been rated as having a permanent 100% and total disability could be eligible to apply for Social Security Disability Insurance/Supplemental Social Security Income (SSI/SSDI). To expedite the SSA application process, it is beneficial for the Veteran to submit their VA rating notification letter from the regional office. This letter indicates the rating as "permanent" and also indicates that no further tests are scheduled.

Gathering Medical Evidence

If you'd like the VA to accept your disability benefits, you must provide medical evidence to prove that a disabling condition is present and is severe. This could include private medical records, a statement from a doctor or another health care provider treating your condition, as well as evidence in the form of pictures and videos that illustrate your symptoms or injuries.

The VA must make reasonable efforts to collect evidence relevant to your particular case. This includes both federal and non-federal records (private medical records, for instance). The agency should continue to look for these records until it can be reasonably certain that they don't exist. Otherwise, any further efforts will be futile.

The VA will then prepare an examination report after it has all the relevant details. The report is typically determined by the claimant's symptoms and their history. It is usually sent to the VA Examiner.

This report is used to make a decision on the claim for disability benefits. If the VA finds the condition to be dependent on service, the claimant might be eligible for benefits. If the VA disagrees, the veteran may appeal the decision by filing an Notice of Disagreement and requesting a higher-level examiner to review their case. This is known as a Supplemental Statement of the Case. The VA can also decide to reopen an earlier denied claim if they receive new and relevant evidence to support the claim.

How to File a Claim

To support your claim for disability, the VA will need all of your medical records and service records. You can submit these by completing the eBenefits website application or in person at a local VA office or by sending them to the VA using Form 21-526EZ. In some instances, you might need to submit additional documents or forms.

It is also crucial to locate any medical records from the civil service that can support your health condition. You can make this process faster by submitting complete addresses of medical care facilities where you have received treatment, including dates of treatment, and being as specific as you can about the documents you're sending to the VA. Identifying the locations of any medical records from the military you have will allow the VA benefits division to have access to them as well.

After you have provided all the necessary paperwork and medical documentation, the VA will conduct a C&P exam. It will include physical examination of the affected part of your body. Moreover depending on how you're disabled the lab work or X rays may be required. The examiner will then prepare a report and send it to the VA to be reviewed.

If the VA determines you are entitled to benefits, they will send a decision letter that includes an introduction, their decision to approve or deny your claim. They will also provide the rating and the specific disability benefit amount. If you are denied, they will detail the evidence they looked over and the reasons for their decision. If you file an appeal then the VA will issue an additional statement of the Case (SSOC).

Make a decision

It is essential that claimants are aware of all the forms and documents required during the gathering and review of evidence phase. If a form isn't filled out correctly or if the proper type of document isn't provided the entire process may be delayed. It is also essential that claimants schedule appointments for their exams and attend the exams as scheduled.

After the VA examines all evidence, they will make a decision. This decision will either approve or refuse it. If the claim is denied, it's possible to make a Notification of Disagreement (NOD) asking for an appeal of the decision.

The next step is to complete the Statement of Case (SOC). The SOC is an official record of all evidence considered, actions taken, decisions made and the laws that govern those decisions.

During the SOC process it is also possible for a claimant to include new information or have certain claims re-adjudicated. This is known as a Supplemental Claim or Higher-Level review, or Board Appeal. It is a good idea to add more information to the claim. These appeals allow an experienced or senior law judge to consider the initial claim for disability again and possibly make a different determination.
