When we take on a veterans disability claim in Schererville, Indiana, our legal team always hits the ground running. We will take whatever action is required to get you the best results. Our Schererville veterans lawyer can help you prepare your initial application. To start the process, you must complete and submit VA Form 21-526. This is a complex form and you need to get it right. It is imperative that you include all relevant medical documentation with your initial application.

In the unfortunate event that your claim is denied, you should contact an experienced Schererville VA disability attorney immediately. Our law firm will help you prepare and submit a Notice of Disagreement (NOD) using VA-Form 21-0958. This is the first step in filing an appeal.

You only have 60 days after receiving a second decision to file an appeal.
