- Providing a comprehensive evaluation of your entitlement to any VA benefits;
- Filling an initial claim on your behalf;

- Preparing you for the Comp & Pen exam process; and

What Happens After You File Your Initial Va Disability Claim?
After you file, the VA has a duty to assist you in developing your claim for benefits. This duty could involve the VA obtaining your service records, medical records, and social security records. Sometimes the duty to assist includes providing you with a medical examination called a Comp & Pen exam. You typically have to submit a certain amount of evidence to trigger the VA’s duty to provide you with a Comp & Pen exam.
While working on your claim, the VA may send you a letter asking for additional evidence. This is called a VCAA Letter. Be sure to respond to these letters, as the VA may automatically deny your claim if you don’t!
After filing a claim, you should receive a decision from the VA within about 3-8 months, depending on your VA Regional Office. This decision is called a Rating Decision. A Rating Decision will include a breakdown of each disability decided, a summary of the evidence considered and applicable laws, and identification of findings favorable to the veteran.
After Receiving a Rating Decision
Unfortunately, far too many veterans wait several months only to receive a denial of their initial claim. Even if the VA grants service connection for a disability, it often unfairly assigns the wrong rating or effective date. At Rob Levine Law, our team is dedicated to get the job done for you. Even if your initial claims are denied, our experienced attorneys will create a unique game plan for winning your appeal.
If you have received a recent Rating Decision or need to get started by filing claims, contact us today for a free case evaluation! We are ready to fight the VA and secure the benefits you deserve.
