If you were injured or made ill during the course of your military service, you’re very likely entitled to disability benefits, but the claims process can be daunting. Without just compensation, reaching your fullest recovery will be that much more challenging, but having an experienced Illinois VA lawyer on your side can make a considerable difference in the outcome of your claim.
VA disability benefits are based on VA disability ratings, which range from 10 to 100 percent and are a reading of how severe your service-related injury, illness, or worsening of a preexisting condition is. Establishing this service connection and your disability rating are critical elements of your claim that your VA lawyer will focus on. In addition, they will discuss the disability benefits you’re likely to qualify for – in relation to your rating. Benefits can include:
The application process for VA disability benefits is long, complicated, and exacting, and many claims are denied outright due to errors made at this juncture – often in relation to missing information or incorrect responses. Having a seasoned VA lawyer skillfully guiding you through the application process – avoiding common pitfalls along the way – can significantly improve your chances of obtaining a fair disability rating and the full range of benefits to which you are entitled.
The outcome of your veterans disability benefits claim will hinge on the strength of the evidence you supply. Your dedicated VA lawyer will ensure that all the available evidence relevant to your claim is well represented, including all the following:
Too many initial claims filed by vets are denied, but you shouldn’t let this stop you from forcefully seeking the benefits owed to you. Having a focused VA lawyer at the helm of your claim will help to ensure that it receives the attention it should and will help to ensure that it leads to fair benefits that support your ability to regain your health and well-being.
