Mr. Comerford is an experienced veterans advocate who has full authorization from the VA to handle disability claims. Our legal team has experience handling a wide range of different claims. Regardless of the disability or medical issue that you or your loved one is enduring, we can help you take your case through the VA application system. A small sample of common disability claims we handle includes:

• Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) claims;

• Gulf War syndrome claims;
• Psychological conditions;
• Chronic headaches;
• Brain injuries (TBIs);
• Chronic pain; and

How Our Dyer, Indiana Veterans Lawyers Can Help

The claims process begins with the initial application for disability benefits. If you need help gathering information and putting together an initial application package (VA Form 21-526), our Dyer VA benefits attorney can help. In the event that your disability claim is denied or underpaid, you should contact a qualified attorney immediately. You have the right to initiate an appeal.

Our law firm will guide you through the filing a Notice of Disagreement. The Notice of Disagreement (VA-Form 21-0958) is the step in the process where you get to explain why the VA made the wrong decision. Your claim will be reviewed a second time and then a Statement of the Case (SOC) will be issued.

If you receive a second adverse decision, you must take your claim before the Board of Veterans Appeals to get your benefits. You only have 60 days to file your official appeal (VA Form 9). Our Dyer veterans benefits lawyer will assist you with the filing of form 9 and we will provide you with strong representation through the appeals process.
