Joliet Veterans Benefits Attorney
According to the most recent data compiled and published by the United States Census Bureau, more than 3.7 million American veterans currently have ‘service-connected disabilities’. Approximately one-third of these veterans have a disability rating above 70 percent, which indicates the presence of a severely disabling condition.
Yet, sadly, even though veterans have given so much to our country, many of them have tremendous problems recovering the full and fair benefits they deserve under the law. Our veterans deserve better. If you are a veteran in Illinois and you need assistance obtaining your benefits, please reach out to our experienced Joliet veterans benefits attorneys today.

We Will Walk You Through Every Step of the Claims Process
The veterans disability benefits claims process is highly complex. For most people, it starts with filling out VA Form 21-526. This is the standard initial application form for benefits and pension benefits. Though, from there, veterans benefits cases can vary dramatically. Often, veterans and their families will need the assistance of a qualified attorney to seek the full and fair recovery they truly deserve.
The single biggest issues that veterans face are: 1) having their disability claim denied, or 2) having their disability assigned a ‘lower rating’ than is appropriate. The VA ratings decision occurs early on in the claims process and it is incredibly important; it will determine the extent to which a veteran is entitled to benefits. Though, the initial ratings decision is by no means final. Often it is incorrect, either because insufficient documents and information were supplied by the applicant or because of mistakes made by the VA. Regardless, our Joliet veterans benefits lawyers can help you take action to fight for your benefits.
