Unfortunately, many veterans have had their VA claim denied or assigned a lower rating than they deserve. The VA office sometimes mishandles claims for several reasons, including:
- Misinterpretation or oversight of medical evidence or documentation.
- Errors in calculating disability ratings, resulting in under-compensation.
- Assigning the wrong effective date.
- Failing to communicate with veterans regarding claim status and requirements.
- Overlooking potential benefits you might qualify for.
- Unfairly rejecting service connection claims.
Is It Worth It to Dispute Denied VA Benefits?
After sacrificing everything, you shouldn’t settle for less. It’s always worth the time and effort to challenge a denied VA claim to get the benefits you’ve earned based on your service and needs. A VA appeals lawyer can review your denial letter, clarify any errors, and strengthen your appeal with more evidence to:
- Correct any mistakes or misunderstandings in the original decision.
- Ensure the office considers every last bit of relevant evidence or documentation.
- Get stable monthly income from benefit payments.
- Obtain backpay for benefits owed from your date of eligibility.
- Access additional healthcare benefits and services.
- Secure possible spouse or dependent benefits.
