Disability Benefits For Veterans

The VA administers many benefit programs for veterans, each with their own distinct eligibility criteria. Our office provides assistance for the following VA benefits:

  • Disability compensation for service-connected physical and/or mental conditions
  • Survivor benefits
  • Disability resulting from VA treatment

In order to qualify for most VA benefits, the applicant must be a “veteran” or the dependent or survivor of a “veteran.” A veteran is defined by the VA as “a person who served in the active military, naval, or air service, and who was discharged or released therefrom under conditions other than dishonorable.”

Compensation benefits are available for veterans who were injured during combat or while on active duty.

An Attorney To Guide You Through The Process

Unfortunately, the process of applying for VA benefits can be time-consuming and technically complicated. Even worse, valid claims are often denied, assigned a low evaluation or given the wrong effective date, necessitating an appeal through a lengthy, cumbersome process.

For these reasons, it can be very important to have the help of a skilled lawyer when pursuing veteran’s disability compensation and other benefits.
