Veterans: Boost Your Chances of Winning Disability Benefits

You have a much greater chance of winning your claim when you hire an experienced VA disability attorney than if you have no representation.

The VA's own statistics show that nearly 43% of appeals were approved for Veterans with attorney representation, compared to fewer than 30% for those without representation.

All statistics in this article are sourced from the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Board of Veterans' Appeals Annual Report Fiscal Year (FY) 2024.

Veterans are also less likely to be denied disability benefits when represented by accredited attorneys.

The denial rate for Veterans with attorney representation before the Board of Veterans Appeal was less than 15% compared to more than 21% of claims that were denied among those Veterans with no representative to fight for their rights.

An accredited Veterans' attorney will project your rights, make sure no deadlines are missed, and vigorously fight for your rights.

It didn't take you long for you to realize that the VA makes Veterans jump through a lot of hoops to be awarded disability benefits. If you make any errors in your disability application or miss a deadline, your case could be set back months or even years. A skilled attorney will keep your case on track and develop the link between your medical evidence and the ruls and regulations the VA will follow when it decides your claim.

All of this means that if you hire an attorney who focuses on VA disability, your case will be presented in a persuasive way that gives you the very best chance to success and help you get the maximum possible compensation.

VA disability attorneys also have a higher success rate than any of the Veteran Service Organizations.

There are well-meaning organizations offering VA disavility assistance that are not staffed with attorneys. They lack the legal training and experieence to prepare your case to maximize the chances of success. Often, they are just overwhelmed by demands on their time. The average service organization representative may be handling hundreds of claims at a time.

Don't get scammed

VA accredited attorneys must follow a standard of conduct from the VA. Unfortunately, thousands of Veterans are being attacked by unaccredited VA disability "consultants". These predatory sharks are taking advantage of Veterans by illegally charging fees to assist them in filing their VA disability claims. These claim sharks often employ deceptive and aggressive tactics to lure Veterans into unfair contracts and charge enourmous upfront fees.

You deserve better. And We only get paid when you win your case.

Our Veterans have proudly served and defended their country. Congress intended the Veterans Administration to be a Veteran-friendly benefits system. Unfortunately, the reality is likely to be far different. Veterans and their families know that all too often the VA is an uncaring and indifferent bureaucracy. You deserve better. You need a tough advocate in your corner who knows the law and knows how to navigate a complicated system. Hiring a professional Veterans' attorney is, without a doubt, your best option for obtaining the benefits you've rightfully earned.
