Veterans' Claims Appeals

When The V.A. Says ‘NO,’ We Fight For You!

When VA benefits are denied, a prompt and well-organized request for review is key to a successful outcome. Our VA-accredited attorney will assess whether an error was made, whether additional evidence is needed, whether a supplemental claim can be filed, and the best course of action for making an appeal with a sound and reasoned argument to obtain the benefits you’ve earned. 

​​

Keep in mind there are deadlines for reviewing an initial denial by the VA, and we offer a "No Win, No Fee" representation, so don't delay letting us help.​ We can also assist you in gathering new and relevant medical evidence should it be needed to support your claim.​​

How We Help Veterans:

We assist veterans with a range of legal services related to benefits claims, including:

  • Initial VA Disability Claims - Helping veterans file comprehensive and accurate applications for service-connected disability benefits.

  • Appeals of Denied Claims – Representing veterans in appealing unfavorable decisions, including through the Board of Veterans’ Appeals (BVA).

  • Increased Rating Claims – Assisting with requests for increased disability ratings due to worsening conditions.

  • Service Connection for Secondary Conditions – Proving the connection between a current disability and a service-related condition.

  • Dependency and Indemnity Compensation (DIC) – Helping surviving spouses and dependents file claims after the loss of a veteran due to service-connected conditions.

  • Aid and Attendance & Other Pension Benefits - Supporting eligible veterans who are dependent on others for aid in performing certain activities of daily living.

  • Caregiver Support Claims – Assisting families to receive compensation for care for aging or disabled veterans.
