Veterans' Disability Compensation offers veterans who have been disabled during the course of their service by injury or illness. Compensation is also available to those veterans whose injury or illness worsened during the time that they were serving.
You might think that qualifying for Veterans' Disability Compensation would be as simple as proving that you have a service-connected injury or illness - and it is, it's just that the process of filing a disability claim is a bit more complicated than that.
The first thing that needs to be established when you're determining whether you qualify for Veterans' Disability Compensation is that you left the military on good terms. In other words, you'll need to have your discharge papers available to prove that you left the service either through separation or based on any condition other than dishonorable discharge.
The next thing that you should do is contact an attorney that has an in-depth understanding of disability law. At LaVan & Neidenberg, we specialize in disability law and have years of experience securing Veterans' Disability Compensation benefits for our clients. Our staff of attorneys and trained legal assistants will help you every step of the way, from filing all of your paperwork to finding and collecting your medical records.
Your medical records, whether they be from your time in the service, private doctors or an ER, can help to demonstrate that you did indeed become injured or ill while you were serving and that you sought treatment. Everything from x-rays to prescriptions for physical therapy and referrals to specialists can help you to qualify for Veterans' Disability Compensation. Likewise, these records can be used as a reference point for when the disability started to affect you.
The Law Office of LaVan and Neidenberg will request your medical histories and evaluations from your past and present doctors in an effort to build a strong medical case. We even provide you with special evaluation forms that your doctors can complete to substantiate your disability claim. Not only will this documentation serve to establish your disability, it will also provide evidence of how severely impacted your life is as a result of your disability. When you qualify for disability benefits, your medical evidence will help to determine your disability rating - the figure that determines how much compensation you will receive.
Those whose disabilities are rated at 30% or higher will also find that they are eligible for additional compensation to support members of their family - their spouse, children and dependent parents. The staff at LaVan & Neidenberg will also help you determine what documentation you'll need to provide to establish your relationship with your dependents if and when the time comes.
