Currently, there are more than 3.7 million veterans in the United States that live with disabilities that are connected to their time serving in our armed forces. As a country, we have a legal and moral obligation to provide all necessary financial and medical support to these veterans and their families.
However, disappointingly, too many veterans are stuck without access to the disability benefits that they have rightfully earned. Put simply, the complexities of the veterans benefits claims process leaves many people confused, feeling that they are left without options. This is where our Oak Lawn veterans benefits attorneys can help.
James R. Comerford, our lead veterans rights attorney, has been officially certified by the U.S. Department of Veteran’s Affairs. This means that he is in a select class of legal professionals who have the authorization to bring veterans disability claims. Some of the specific types of disability cases that Mr. Comerford has handled include:
Our firm also handles all other types of veteran benefits cases. Indeed, this list is only a small sampling of the claims that we have handled. Whether you have service-connected hearing or vision problem, or a condition related to the water contamination at Camp Lejeune, we can help. Even if you are completely unsure of the status or viability of your claim, you should reach out to our office. We review all veterans benefits cases for free, with no further obligations for you. We will assess your case and help you explore your legal options.
To apply for compensation benefits for a disability that is related to your military service time, you will need to initiate a claim by filing VA Form 21-526. Ideally, this form will be filed properly, with all necessary supporting documentation, and the government will pay you full benefits, without any undue delay. However, all too often, this is simply not how the process will go. Not only can the claims process get delayed months and even years, but many claims are wrongfully denied, either because of mistakes in the initial filing or mistakes by the VA. Regardless, working with an experienced Oak Lawn veterans benefits attorney will dramatically increase your chances of success.
