Retroactive pay for a veteran in an appeal to the Board of Veterans’ Appeals. The Board had previously found that a 1980 decision that his PTSD was not service-connected was erroneous. The Board agreed with our argument that our client had been owed 100 percent disability benefits since 1980, not the 10 percent rating he had previously received.

He was so attentive, patient, and truly kind. I have delayed sending in my VA claim out of embarrassment and the anguish that continues to affect my life.

The VA Disability Claims Process in Manchester, NH
You can file your initial application for VA disability benefits online or by mail. When the VA receives your application, it will check for any missing information and review your evidence to determine your eligibility for benefits. You’ll then receive a decision letter with the VA’s reasoning.
If your claim is denied, there is a complicated appeals process. A skilled veterans disability attorney can help you avoid errors that lead to early denials or lengthy decision times.
Appealing a Denied VA Disability Claim in Manchester, NH
The appeals process after a veterans disability claim denial has multiple steps, each of which can add months to your wait time:
- Filing a Supplemental Claim: You can submit new evidence to the VA to help link your condition to your military history.
- Requesting a Higher-Level Review: You can ask a senior VA rater to reconsider the initial claim decision.
- The Board of Veterans Appeals: You can have your appeal heard by a panel of veterans law judges.
- Taking Your Case to Court: If you disagree with a decision by the Board of Veterans Appeals, your last shot at a reversal is to go before the U.S. Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims.
The best way to secure benefits fast is to avoid the appeals process altogether. If necessary, a skilled veterans disability attorney can help you navigate your appeal through each step and achieve the outcome you deserve.
VA Disability Compensation Rates
VA disability beneficiaries receive monthly payments based on their disability rating, a number that reflects how debilitating the recipient’s condition is. The monthly compensation is also increased by the recipient’s number of dependents.
Disability ratings are assigned in 10% increments, with 0% being a non-compensable disability and 100% meaning the beneficiary is completely unable to work. The VA uses its Schedule for Rating Disabilities as a guideline for assessing disabling conditions. The agency will review the applicant’s medical history, military records, and other evidence.
While a 0% rating is not considered severe enough for monthly compensation, it does establish a service-connected disability, which allows you to receive VA health care, travel reimbursement, and life insurance benefits. It’s also an important base of evidence for contesting your disability rating.
Veterans Disability FAQs
How Much Can a VA Disability Lawyer Charge?
Is It Worth Getting a Lawyer for VA Disability?
You aren’t required to hire an attorney before filing a veterans disability application, but experienced legal help can be the difference between being denied and getting the benefits you deserve.
What Is the 70-40 Rule for VA disability?
Through the 70-40 rule, a veteran can qualify for Total Disability Based on Individual Unemployability benefits without having a 100% VA disability rating. Instead, they only need one condition rated at 60% or multiple conditions with a combined rating of at least 70% and one rated at least 40%.
What Is the VA Disability 5-Year Rule?
The 5-year rule protects veterans from having the VA decrease their disability rating without strong evidence after it has been in place for at least five years.
Can I Appeal an Old Decision?
You can appeal a decision by the VA years later. For help challenging an older decision, contact our veterans disability attorneys today.
Do I Need an Accredited VA Attorney?
By law, anyone who represents you for a veterans disability claim must be accredited by the VA.
