Why Do I Need a Veterans Disability Lawyer?

As a veteran who has been found disabled, you could be due benefits – including non-service-connected pensions – regardless of whether your condition started in service or developed after discharge.

Yet, the nature of disability law is complex. Among the more than 600,000 Michigan veterans, there’s a high backlog of those waiting for their benefits. Further, the Department of Veterans Affairs tends to deny claims that veterans and their dependents deserve. For example, if you have a condition considered completely disabling in one manner, the VA could rule that it’s not a permanent condition because they believe improvement is expected.

When you enlist a veterans’ disability lawyer certified to handle cases before the VA, you have a crucial advantage. Our VA disability attorneys know the intricacies of state and federal veterans’ law. We understand the importance of presenting detailed and complete information to the VA. And we employ unique legal strategies for cases before the Board of Veterans Appeals.

 

What Veterans’ Disability Benefits Am I Entitled to?

But just because your disability claim was denied, you’re not necessarily out of luck to receive compensation for your disability. 

Among your veterans’ disability benefits are health care treatment, monthly disability checks, life insurance, home loans, and education through the GI bill. Further, you may be able to receive VA disability benefits while also receiving Social Security Disability (SSD).

As a Michigan resident, you could also be entitled to benefits at the state and local levels. These include property tax credits, vocational training, and emergency funds through the Michigan Veterans Trust Fund.

 

What Will My VA Disability Attorneys Do for Me?

At Disability Law Group, our veterans’ benefits attorneys will work to:

  • Review and assess all the benefits you may be eligible for.
  • Help determine the maximum amount you could receive.
  • Assist you in completing the VA paperwork fully and accurately.
  • Help gather compelling evidence to support your claim, including your medical and financial situation.
  • Navigate you on any next steps you’ll need to take, such as appealing a benefits denial.
  • Be your zealous advocate if the system isn’t treating you fairly.
  • Treat you with the empathy and respect you deserve.

Client Testimonials

I originally applied for SSDI 4 years ago and was denied multiple times.

From the first conversation with Erika Riggs and her team I knew I was in good hands. They are very professional, easily understood my situation and were great to work with. I did not have to worry about anything they knew exactly what needed to be done. I no longer had to stress over the situation, I just put everything in their hands. They handled my situation with care and empathy and kept me informed every step of the way. She even checked on me after the approval to make sure I understood the process going forward and we went over all the correspondence I received from social security together. I would most definitely recommend Erika Riggs and her team. Thank you so much Erika!
