Differing from Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI)
claims, Veteran's Disability benefits are predicated upon
establishing a service-connected physical or mental impairment,
and the disability rating assigned to the acknowledged injury or
injuries. The rating indicates a "percentage usage loss" of a
body part. Veterans' Disability Benefits will typically be based
on this assessment.
Key
issues which a veteran may face is whether the Veterans'
Administration (VA) rating accurately reflects their disability
and whether the impairment is service-connected or secondarily
related. It is important for your Veterans' Disability Benefits
Attorney (lawyer) to recognize an injury experienced during
service may cause additional problems to other parts of the
body, which should be brought to light in your claim.
Negative Veterans Disability Benefit Rating or a Denial - What
Next?
After
being assigned a disability rating, you only have 12 months to
file a "Notice of Disagreement". After filing this notice, you
then have 60 days to file an appeal for any or all other
denials. If you have been denied benefits or disagree with a
disability rating, contact
