FAQs About Your VA Disability Claim

Who is Eligible for VA Benefits

All veterans of the military are eligible for VA benefits after an honorable discharge from service. The VA is a great resource for helping veterans with a variety of life issues, including medical benefits, job and career assistance, financial services, and other areas of post-service life. Unfortunately, as with many government agencies, getting full benefits from the VA can be an extremely complex process. All too often, veterans may spend years trying to get claims approved or amended or to gain access to additional compensation that they are due.

Rob Levine Law helps Springfield veterans like you get the benefits you deserve. We can even help give you an estimation of what you can expect with our VA rating calculator. The claims process is often complicated, but we follow it all the way through to get you the maximum financial benefit as allowed by the VA system. We take away the burden of dealing directly with the VA by doing it all for you.

The following are general areas that an attorney can help you with regarding your veterans’ disability claim.

If your benefits were denied after your submission to your regional VA office, an attorney will appeal the case to the Board of Veterans’ Appeals.
If you are still turned away, we will prepare an appeal to the US Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims – the first step in the US Judicial system.
In the unlikely case you are still denied or dissatisfied with the outcome, we can prepare appeal to the US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit and even the US Supreme Court, in extreme cases.

"When you’re denied disability benefits, don’t panic. Most people are denied in the early initial filing. Call us right away. We can help you."

Excellent Support for Veterans with PTSD

Alexandra Boza has been awesome. She kept me updated, and she is nice and very patient with me. My PTSD sometimes affects me, but I feel comfortable with her. I would and do recommend your firm to every vet I talk with. Thank you, Alexandra Boza.

Going Beyond to Secure Full Compensation

I achieved far more than expected from the work of Simon Kelly’s team, professionally led by Simon Kelly. His performance was beyond reproach throughout the laborious process. He sought and obtained compensation for injuries I had discounted upfront. His team’s respect toward me was commendable, and his knowledge of the law was impeccable.

I Highly Recommend Them for All VA Claims

I contacted Rob Levine Law, and they helped me from the start. I had a different attorney who messed up my case before I hired them. They handled everything with professionalism, and I really appreciate all of their help. My case went to the BVA and was granted.

FAQs About Your VA Disability Claim

Can I receive VA disability compensation and continue to work?

In the Social Security disability system, in order to receive benefits, the standard is, “you are not capable of any form of gainful employment.” Unlike Social Security Disability, you can work while receiving VA disability compensation. Your VA disability benefits is based on how your service-connected disabilities impact your ability to work.

Can I receive VA disability compensation and Social Security Disability benefits at the same time?

Social Security Disability Income (SSDI) does not have a barrier to net worth or income provisions. Regardless of the home, the vehicle you own, or investments you’ve made – or alimony or pension from previous employment, this would not prohibit you from receiving SSDI. Similarly, this would not prohibit you from qualifying and receiving VA disability benefits. Even if you were to qualify for a 100% TDIU rating, you would still qualify for SSDI benefits either under the SSDI guidelines or the VA Disability guidelines.

How long will the VA take to decide my disability case?

The average length of time to adjudicate any claim or appeal depends on many factors, including the type of appeal or claim, the Regional Office, the number of disabilities to decide, any necessary development, and the overall complexity of the case. Cases in the VA’s legacy appeal system can take years. In contrast, the VA has set the following timeliness goal for adjudicating AMA appeals:

Supplemental Claims: within 125 days
Higher Level Review: within 125 days
Board of Veterans’ Appeals – Direct Review Docket: within 365 days
Board of Veterans’ Appeals – Evidence and Hearing Docket: over 365 days

Do I have to hire a Veterans Disability lawyer?

No, the VA does not require you to hire a lawyer for your appeal. However, remember that the VA also unfairly denied your benefits. Statistics show that veterans with representation receive more benefits, faster. The Veterans Disability attorneys at Rob Levine Law know the law as well as the ins and outs of the VA system. When you combine an experienced, knowledgeable Veterans Disability attorney with a veteran who can assist by explaining the details of the facts of a case, there is no better team to help you get the disability benefits that you deserve.

Can You Receive VA Disability Benefits with a OTH Discharge?

Yes, if there are mitigating circumstances (like mental illness or TBI) that explain the conduct that resulted in the less-than-honorable discharge. These types of cases can often last years without an experienced representative who can overcome VA’s negative assessment of your military discharge.

What does a Veterans Disability lawyer do?

An effective attorney can put you in a position to win your appeal the first time around, saving you years of disappointment and frustration. Veterans’ claims often get caught in a cycle of denial, appeal, remand, denial, appeal, remand, denial, appeal, remand, and so on. An experienced attorney can effectively present the law and the facts to the VA the first time around, which in many instances gets veterans their disability benefits faster. When you choose our dedicated team of experts at Rob Levine Law to represent you, we take an all-hands-on-deck approach to win your case. As part of our proven process, our team will:

How can I find out if the military base where I served had toxic exposure?

Many veterans are unaware that hundreds of domestic installations have been flagged for environmental hazards. You can use an interactive VA domestic military base exposure map to search for specific locations and see a detailed list of known contaminants, such as PFAS, heavy metals, or radiation, that were present during your time of service.
