문의내용: How to File a Veterans Disability Claim

A veteran's disability claim is an important component of his or her benefit application. Many veterans who have their claims approved receive an additional monthly income which is tax-free.

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

Aggravation

Veterans could be qualified for disability compensation if their condition was aggravated by their military service. This type of claim is known as an aggravated disability. It can be either physical or mental. A competent VA lawyer can help a former servicemember to file an aggravated disability claim. A claimant must prove through medical evidence or independent opinions that their medical condition prior to serving was aggravated due to active duty.

A physician who is an expert on the disability of the veteran can offer an independent medical opinion which will prove the seriousness of the pre-service condition. In addition to the physician's statement, the veteran is required to submit medical records as well as lay statements from family or friends who can attest to their pre-service condition.

When a claim for disability benefits from veterans it is essential to be aware that the condition that is aggravated must be different from the original disability rating. A disability attorney can advise the former service member on how they can provide enough medical evidence and testimony to prove that their health condition was not merely aggravated through military service, but was worse than it would have been had it not been for the aggravating factor.

VA proposes to realign its two "aggravation standards" in its regulations, 38 CFR 3.306 and 3.310. The different wording in these provisions has led to confusion and disagreement during the claims process. Specifically, the incongruent use of terms such as "increase in disability" and "any increase in severity" has been the source of litigation and uncertainty.

Conditions Associated with Service

To qualify for benefits, veterans must prove their condition or disability was caused by service. This is known as showing "service connection." For certain conditions, like ischemic heart disease, or other cardiovascular diseases that develop as a result of specific service-connected amputations, service connection is granted automatically. Veterans with other conditions, like PTSD, must provide lay testimony or lay evidence from people who knew them during their service to establish a connection between their condition to a specific event that occurred during their time in the military.

A preexisting medical issue could be a result of service if it was aggravated through active duty and not due to the natural progression of the disease. It is recommended to present a doctor's report that explains that the aggravation of the condition was caused by service and not the natural development of the disease.

Certain ailments and injuries are presumed to have been caused or aggravated by service. These are known as "presumptive diseases." This includes exposure to Agent Orange for Vietnam and Korean veterans, exposure to radiation in Prisoners of War, and various Gulf War conditions. Some chronic diseases and tropical illnesses are also believed to have been aggravated or triggered by service. They include AL amyloidosis, chloracne or other acne-related diseases Porphyria Cutanea Tighta, tuberculosis and multiple sclerosis and diabetes mellitus type 2.

Appeals

The VA has a procedure for appealing their decision on whether or not they will grant benefits. The first step is to file a Notice of Disagreement. Your VA-accredited attorney will likely submit this form on your behalf, but if they do not, you may file it yourself. This form is used to tell the VA that you are not satisfied with their decision and that you'd like a higher-level analysis of your case.

There are two ways to get a higher-level review that 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 given to the decision made previously) and then either reverse or affirm the earlier decision. You could be able or not to submit new proof. The other option is to request a hearing before a Veterans Law Judge from the Board of Veterans' Appeals in Washington, D.C.

There are a variety of factors to consider when choosing the best route for your appeal, and it's important to discuss these with your VA-accredited attorney. They will have experience and know the best option for your case. They are also well-versed in the difficulties faced by disabled veterans and can be more effective advocates for you.

Time Limits

If you have a disability that was incurred or worsened in the military, you could file a claim in order to receive compensation. However, you'll need patient with the process of considering and deciding about the merits of your claim. It could take as long as 180 days after your claim is submitted before you get a decision.

Many factors influence the time it takes for the VA to make a decision on your claim. The amount of evidence submitted will play a big role in how quickly your application is evaluated. The location of the VA field office which will be evaluating your claim will also affect the length of time required to review.

Another factor that can impact the time it takes your claim to be processed is the frequency at which you contact the VA to check its progress. You can speed up the process by sending all documentation as quickly as you can, and providing specific details regarding the medical care facility you use, as well as sending any requested information.

If you think there has been an error in the determination of your disability, you are able to request a higher-level review. You must submit all of the facts about your case to an experienced reviewer, who will decide whether there an error in the initial decision. The review doesn't include any new evidence.
