How to File a Veterans Disability Claim
A veterans disability claim is a claim for compensation for an injury or disease related to military service. It can also be a claim for dependency and indemnity compensation (DIC) for spouses who survive and dependent children.
A veteran may have to provide documents to support an claim. The claimant can speed the process by keeping appointments for medical examinations and submitting documents requested promptly.
Recognizing a disabling condition
Injuries and illnesses that can result from serving in the military, like muscular skeletal disorders (sprains arthritis, sprains and so on. ) and respiratory issues and loss of hearing are frequent among veterans disability law firms (from Gigatree). These illnesses and injuries are approved for disability benefits at a higher percentage than other ailments due to the long-lasting consequences.
If you were diagnosed as having an illness or injury while on active duty then the VA will need proof that the cause was your service. This includes medical records from private hospitals as well as clinics relating to the injury or illness aswell as statements made by family members and friends about the symptoms you experience.
The severity of your problem is an important factor. If you are a hard worker younger vets are able to recover from certain muscle and bone injuries. As you age however, your odds of recovering diminish. It is crucial that veterans disability attorneys apply for a disability claim even if their condition is serious.
People who have been classified as having a 100% permanent and total disability could be eligible to apply for Social Security Disability Insurance/Supplemental Security income (SSI/SSDI). It will be beneficial to the Veteran if they provide the VA rating notification letter that was issued by the regional office. The letter should state that the rating is "permanent" and that no more tests are scheduled.
Gathering Medical Evidence
If you wish the VA to accept your disability benefits, you must provide medical evidence that a disabling condition is present and is severe. This could include private medical records, a declaration by a doctor or health care provider who treats your illness, as well as evidence by way of photographs and videos that illustrate your symptoms or injuries.
The VA is legally required to make reasonable efforts to acquire relevant evidence on your behalf. This includes federal records as well as non-federal records (private medical records, for instance). The agency will continue to look for these records until it is reasonably certain that they don't exist. Otherwise, any further efforts will be in vain.
The VA will create an examination report when it has all the relevant information. This is based upon the claimant's medical history and symptoms and is usually submitted to a VA examiner.
This examination report is then used to decide on the disability claim. If the VA decides that the condition is related to service, the claimant could be eligible for benefits. The veteran can appeal a VA decision in the event that they disagree, by filing a notice of disagreement and asking that an inspector at a higher level look into their case. This process is called a Supplemental Statement of the Case. The VA can also decide to reopen an earlier denied claim if it is presented with new and relevant evidence that supports the claim.
How to File a Claim
The VA will require all your medical documents, military and service records to support your disability claim. You can provide them by completing the eBenefits website application or in person at the local VA office or by sending them to the VA using Form 21-526EZ. In some instances you'll need to fill out additional forms or statements.
Tracking down civilian medical records which support your medical condition is also crucial. You can speed up this process by providing complete addresses for medical care facilities where you've received treatment, including dates of treatment and being precise as you can regarding the documents you're sending to the VA. Finding the location of any military medical records you have will enable the VA benefits division to access those as well.
The VA will conduct an examination C&P after you have submitted the required paperwork and medical proof. It will include a physical examination of the body part affected and, depending on your disability it could include lab work or X-rays. The examiner will then prepare a report and send it to the VA to be reviewed.
If the VA determines that you're eligible for benefits, they will send you a decision letter which includes an introduction, a decision to approve or deny your claim a rating and a specific disability benefit amount. If you are denied benefits, they will outline the evidence they considered and the reasons behind their decision. If you appeal, the VA will issue an Supplemental Statement of the Case (SSOC).
Make a Choice
It is vital that the claimants are aware of the forms and documentation required during the gathering and reviewing evidence. If a form is not filled out correctly or if the proper type of document isn't provided then the entire process will be delayed. It is imperative that claimants attend their scheduled tests.
After the VA examines all the evidence, they will make a decision. The decision will either be to decide to approve or deny it. If the claim is denied you can submit a Notice of Disagreement to request an appeal.
The next step is to create a Statement of Case (SOC). The SOC is an official record of the evidence of the case, the actions taken the decisions made, as well as the laws that govern those decisions.
During the SOC an applicant can also add additional details to their claim or request that it be reviewed. This is known as a Supplemental Claim, Higher-Level Review or Board Appeal. It is a good idea in bringing new information into the claim. These appeals allow an experienced or senior law judge to review the initial claim for disability and make a new determination.
