Comerford is an accredited veteran’s disability attorney and a recognized member of the National Organization of Veterans Advocates (NOVA).

Which Conditions Qualify for Veteran’s Benefits?

Veterans qualify for disability benefits if they sustained a service-related injury and were discharged under non-dishonorable conditions. As a veteran, you will need to prove that your disability is related to your military service and that this disability is a chronic condition. For those who lost limbs in combat, this is not difficult to prove at all. However, there are a number of disabilities that veterans have that are far more difficult to prove. 

These include:

• Agent Orange exposure (Vietnam)
• Chronic headache
• Cognitive impairs or traumatic brain injury
• Gulf War Syndrome
• Hearing loss or tinnitus
• Heart conditions/hypertension
• Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
• Psychiatric problems
• Vision loss or blindness

Veterans Have Difficulties Filing Claims

There are a number of reasons why veterans have difficulties filing claims with the VA. Often, it is not exactly clear what kind of information the VA requires. Veterans file a claim and then their claim comes back denied for sometimes abstruse reasons that they do not understand.

As an accredited veteran’s disability benefits attorney, James R. Comerford has represented the interests of several veterans who were presenting complicated cases to the VA for authorization. When the VA denies a claim, you have the right to appeal that decision and provide more evidence that your condition is either service-related or provide the necessary evidence that it is chronic and makes it difficult for you to work.
