Appealing a Denial of Veterans’ Disability Benefits You put yourself at risk to serve your country. If your service damaged your health, the Department of Veterans Affairs owes you disability benefits. But they denied you, or issued a disability rating that fails to meet your needs. The veterans’ disability attorneys at Lachman & Gorton Law Office can help you appeal the decision.
STEPS TO YOUR APPEAL This is the process of appealing a veterans’ disability denial:
1. File a “Notice of Disagreement”
4. Attend an appeals hearing if you choose
2. Review the VA’s “Statement of the Case” explaining why they denied you
5. Receive a Board of Veterans’ Appeals decision
3. File your response and appeal
GET SUPPORT FOR YOUR APPEAL This process is daunting, but an attorney can help you in several ways:
Making sure your forms are complete and correct
Representing you in your hearing
Making sure you see doctors who know what the VA needs
Appealing your case to the Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims if needed
