If you’re a veteran and received a denial for Veterans Affair (VA) disability claim, you might feel like you’re all out of options. You can appeal your denied claim, however, and, with the help of an attorney, you’re far more likely to have a successful outcome. The following information illustrates just how important professional legal guidance is when facing serious matters like this.

3 Reasons to Hire an Attorney to Handle VA Disability Claim Appeals

1. Claims Are Often Denied

Despite the many noble sacrifices veterans have made, their claims for disability often fall on deaf ears. As a result, appealing denied claims is a common occurrence. While veterans can launch an appeal on their own, it’s typically an uphill battle, rife with technical jargon and esoteric legal concepts, all with a short timeline. It can be difficult for the average person to get a handle on all the necessary components of initiating an appeal in time, and, accordingly, it might not be successful. A lawyer understands the appeals process and will ensure you submit material quickly for the best results.

2. An Attorney’s Assistance Is Crucial

In fact, veterans won their appeals in the vast majority of cases, provided they worked with a lawyer to highlight just why they deserved disability. These success rates are even higher than other appeal options, including advocacy groups created to fight for veterans’ rights.

3. Higher Settlements Are Also Possible

Not only do veterans with lawyers enjoy a higher rate of success, but their settlements also tend to be higher as well. Back pay is key in this regard, and lawyers can make a more compelling case for earning veterans back pay based on the details of the injuries in question. Increased settlements are integral when it comes to long-term disability, as medical costs alone can be staggering. Additionally, veterans must also contend with basic living costs, which can be difficult to keep up with on a fixed income.
