What Should I Do After My Veterans Benefits Compensation Was Denied or Underrated? Should I hire a Pennsylvania Veterans Disability Lawyer or File a VA Appeal on My Own?

Learn About Veterans Disability Compensation: If you have received a denial of your initial veterans disability benefits claim, you should consider hiring a veterans compensation attorney in PA to assist you with the laborious and long appeals process. Due to its bureaucratic nature, the VA can be extremely difficult to deal with. In the worst-case scenarios, it has taken individuals two or three years to get an appeal after filing a Notice of Disagreement (NOD). Because of this lag, it is important to do all you can to increase your chances of receiving a favorable decision on appeal.

We encourage vets and your loved ones to retain copies and record notes with dates with all information relative to your disability and initial filing for VA Disability Comp. Our legal team will help you identify the evidence and support you need for filing an appeal after a denial or low rating.

While our veterans disability law firm commends the ability that some VSOs have in navigating the system, the advantage of hiring an attorney is simple: you will have a legally-trained veterans compensation appeal professional to provide you with zealous representation. At Rankin & Gregory, we consider it both a privilege and an honor to represent the veterans of our military forces.
