What is what is VA disability?
The amount of monthly monetary compensation provided to veterans suffering from service-related disabilities is determined on their disability rating. This rating is based upon the severity of the injury or illness and can range from 0% and 100% in increments of 10 percent (e.g. 20 percent, 30 percent, etc.). The compensation is tax-free and provides a basic income to the disabled veteran and their family.
VA provides additional compensation through other programs, including individual unemployment, clothing allowances prestabilization and hospitalization automobile allowances, as well as hospitalization allowances. These benefits are in addition to the basic disability compensation.
In addition to these benefit programs, in addition, the Social Security Administration gives military veterans special credits to increase their lifetime earnings for disability or retirement benefits. These extra credits are called "credit for service."

How do I claim a benefit?
First, veterans need to locate the medical evidence to prove their condition. This includes Xrays, doctor's notes or other evidence related to their medical condition. It is important to provide these records to VA. If a veteran does not have these documents then the VA must be informed by the applicant (or their VSO).
The next step is a filing of an intent to file. This is a form that allows the VA to review your claim before you have all the medical records required. The form also keeps the date you can start receiving your compensation benefits in case you have a successful case.
Once all the information is in when all the information is in, the VA will schedule an appointment for you. This will be dependent on the number and type of disabilities you are claiming. Make sure you attend this exam, as If you don't, it could delay your claim.
The VA will send you a decision package when the examinations have been completed. If the VA denies your claim you have one year from the date of the letter to request a higher-level review.
A lawyer can help in this situation. Lawyers who are accredited by VA can now be involved in the appeals from the beginning, which is a huge advantage for those who are seeking disability benefits.
How do I appeal a denial?
Denial of disability benefits to veterans can be frustrating. Thankfully, the VA has an appeals procedure for these decisions. The first step is to submit the Notice of Disagreement to the VA regional office which sent you the Rating decision. In your Notice Of Disagreement, you should explain to the VA why you disagreed with their decision. It is not necessary to list all of the reasons however, you must mention all the points you disagree with.
You must also request a C-file, or claims file, so that you can determine the evidence that the VA used to make their decision. There are usually incomplete or missing data. This can result in a mistake in the rating.
After you have submitted your NOD, you'll be asked if you would like your case reviewed by an Board of Veterans Appeals or a Decision Review officer. In general you'll have a higher chance of success when the DRO examines your case than if it's reviewed by the BVA.
You can request a personal hearing with a senior rating expert through a DRO review. The DRO will conduct a review of your claim on the basis of a "de novo" basis, which means they will not give deference to the previous decision. This typically results in a new Rating Decision. You can also choose to review your claim with the BVA in Washington. This is the most lengthy appeals procedure and can take up to three years to reach a new decision.
How much does an attorney charge?
A lawyer can charge a fee if you appeal a VA decision on a disability claim. The current law does not permit lawyers to charge for assistance with a claim in the beginning. The fee is only payable in the event that the lawyer wins your case or increases your benefits via an appeal. The fees are typically paid out of any lump-sum payment you receive from the VA.
Veterans can look through the VA's database of attorneys who are accredited or claim agents to find accredited representatives. These individuals have been approved by the Department of Veterans Affairs to represent veterans, service members and their dependents as well as survivors in a range of issues including pension and disability compensation claims.
The majority of veterans' disability advocates are paid on the basis of a contingent. This means that they are only paid if they win the appeal of the client and receive back pay from the VA. The amount of back pay granted varies, but could be as much as 20 percent of the claimant's total past-due benefit.
In rare instances an attorney or agent might decide to charge on an an hourly basis. However, this is uncommon for two reasons. First, these situations can be time-consuming and can take months or even years. Second, many veterans and their families can't afford an hourly rate.
