Q: If I am denied how can I appeal the decision?
A: Being denied benefits can be extremely disheartening. The two most common reasons for filing an appeal are: 1) the VA denied your claim for what you believe is a service-connected injury or disease, and/or 2) the VA’s rating percentage is not satisfactory.
If you have been denied benefits or you feel you have received an unjust disability rating, the most important thing to remember is... ALWAYS file an APPEAL! You NEVER want to start a new application because you will put yourself back at square one. The closer you are to hearing in front of the Board of Veterans' Appeals (BVA), the better. This means you will have the opportunity to present an argument on why your claim should be approved.
We highly recommend that you seek representation at this point (if you haven't already done so). The Law Offices of LaVan & Neidenberg can simplify the appeals process by completing the necessary forms on your behalf, filing the appeal and arguing your case in front of the BVA.
