gET THE DISABILITY BENEFITS YOU DERSERVE!

There are close to 20 million Veterans in the United States. Many Veterans have been denied VA benefits or received a low rating. If you have been denied or received a low rating, you may want to pursue your right to appeal. The VA is designed to be a “non-adversarial” process, and the law requires the VA to have a “Duty to Assist” veterans. However, year after year, the VA denies an unprecedented amount of valid claims. If you served at least 90 days of active duty and received a discharge of other than dishonorable, and your injury or disease was caused while serving, you may be entitled to disability compensation.

The disability claimed must have not been a result of your own willful misconduct or abuse of alcohol and drugs. As of January 1, 2023, disability compensation for a Veteran, spouse and one child is as much as $3,971.78 for disabilities rated at 100 percent. This does not include special compensation(s) and multiple children. We handle all types of veteran disability law claims and exclusively practice veteran disability law.
