How to Win a Veterans Affairs Decision Appeal

Was Your Veterans Affairs Disability Claim Denied?

Your response to a rejected disability benefits claim is what counts.

The VA provides multiple opportunities for disabled veterans to appeal its decisions. But an appeal must address the initial problem — why your claim was not approved in the first place.

In most cases, to be successful, your appeal of a denied VA disability benefits claim must provide evidence that was not previously in your claim file.

VA Disability Denial Documents If you have applied for veterans' disability benefits and the VA denied your claim, you are not alone. The VA denies initial disability claims from many deserving veterans.

Berry Law can help.

We assist veterans with all levels of appeals, whether it is before a VA Regional Office, the Board of Veterans’ Appeals, the U.S. Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims, or higher courts.

We have litigated claims that resulted in binding case law and changes to VA regulations to help all Veterans, not just our clients. We know the way forward.

Reasons Why the Veterans Affairs Denies Disability Benefits Claims

Before a veteran goes through the VA appeals process, the veteran should understand why the VA denied his or her claim. The veteran’s appeal must directly address the VA’s reasons and consider the evidence and law that the VA cited in its decision. Our experienced VA disability lawyers can help by identifying why the VA denied your claim and what new arguments or evidence will help win an appeal.

Why Hire a Veterans Affairs Disability Claim Appeal Lawyer for Help?

The VA disability compensation system is supposed to be veteran-friendly. But, in reality, the rules and regulations governing the claims process can be confusing and frustrating for everyone involved.

Just as most people would not want to go through other legal processes without competent representation, veterans deserve skilled and experienced representation as well.

At Berry Law, we have decades of experience representing veterans fighting for their VA disability benefits on appeal. We have focused a major portion of our practice on helping veterans with PTSD-related claims, and we have experience with virtually all other veterans’ disabilities as well.

Our lawyers understand the claims process, what evidence is needed to establish service-connected PTSD, how to maximize your disability rating, and how to determine the proper amount of back pay you deserve.
