Veterans disability benefits are available to veterans of the United States uniformed services, including National Guard and Reserve, who suffer a current injury or disease attained during service.
The current disability must be service connected, and includes diseases or conditions that were exacerbated during service.
Obtaining disability benefits often hinges on whether a veteran can prove his/her injury or condition was related to service. This is where we can help. Whether you have been denied compensation or receiving less compensation than you deserve, we can help pursue additional recovery for you.

Oftentimes service members have an opportunity to apply for VA Disability Benefits up to six months prior to their discharge from the military. VA disability ratings are assigned to injuries and disabilities that are deemed service connected by the Regional Office where the service member (or veteran) first files the application. In order for an injury or disability to be deemed service connected, it has to meet a certain threshold as outlined by the VA. Injuries are then assigned a service connected rating between 0% and 100%, differing at 10% increments.
Several factors can impact the amount of compensation a veteran receives. For each service member, the VA considers both the service connected rating and the number of qualifying dependents to determine a monthly monetary award. This amount can vary widely from the baseline of $144.14 all the way up to $3,731.90. These ranges are based on the VA’s 2021 Compensation Rates which can be viewed at VA Compensation Rates. As you may know, working with the VA can be a complicated endeavor. Due to the complexities involved in the application and appellate processes, it is important to have a knowledgeable, VA Accredited attorney in your corner.
