The Benefits of Working With a Veterans’ Benefits Lawyer

Each year, thousands of veterans are wrongly denied the benefits they need and deserve. Veterans who suffer from physical and psychological injuries during wartime come back home and are unable to work and/or are unable to pay for their extensive medical bills. Without an income, and with increasing expenses, these veterans find themselves in a financial hole they cannot dig themselves out of. This is not how it should be for the men and women who fought for our country. Our veterans’ benefits attorneys do everything possible to ensure a better life for our heroes in uniform.

According to the National Organization of Veterans’ Advocates, Inc., veterans who are represented by a lawyer receive the lowest denial rate, at just 17.7 percent, compared with the 24.2 denial rate of unrepresented individuals. Additionally, veterans with an attorney on their side are the most likely to have their appeals heard by the Board of Veterans’ Appeals (BVA), and experience a 30.1 percent success rate. This is huge, considering that if a claim is denied, it takes an average of 10 years to make it through the entire appeals process and for a decision to be made. You do not want to risk a second denial, as it could mean up to 20 years before you ever receive your benefits.

The Importance of VA Benefits

Veterans’ benefits were created to help disabled veterans support themselves and their families, as well as to receive the treatment they require for their injuries. These monetary payments are non-taxable, and are oftentimes the only source of income for seriously disabled veterans. Though the list of qualifying disabilities is extensive, the most common injuries for which veterans receive benefits are as follows:

•      Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD);
•      Radiation Poisoning;
•      Illness from Agent Orange Exposure;
•      Cognitive Disabilities;
•      Traumatic Head Injuries;
•      Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI);
•      Physical Disabilities;
•      Former Prisoner of War;
•      Sexual Trauma;
•      Amputation;
•      Eye Injuries;
•      Hearing Loss;
•      Spinal Cord Injuries;
•      Chronic Disorders;
•      Hypertension; and
•      Lou Gehrig’s Disease.

If you do not see your particular disability listed, and if you want to know if your injury qualifies for benefits, reach out to VA benefits attorney James R. Comerford to discuss your legal rights.
