Many veterans returning home from military service are confused about their disability benefits and the steps required to receive them. Some veterans whose service-related symptoms did not manifest until after they left active duty may even be unaware that they’re eligible for benefits. This is often the case with delayed-onset PTSD or exposure to toxins.
If you are a veteran with a service-connected disability, the Disability Law Group is here to help. Having our experienced and caring legal team in your corner can make all the difference. Here’s why you should choose us to handle your claim.
We Have Extensive Experience
At Disability Law Group, our team of disability attorneys has the experience to help you get the benefits you deserve. The process for filing disability claims is complicated. One wrong step could cause your rightful benefits to be denied. It’s essential to have an attorney who knows what they’re doing and how to cut through the red tape.
Disability Law Group has the experience you can count on during this confusing time. Our client testimonials demonstrate our track record of success, showcasing our history of securing life-altering outcomes for the veterans who deserve them.
The VA claims process is complicated, but we’re here to help. Trying to appeal a claim independently without medical documentation can slow things down, but we have the resources and team to file paperwork correctly and on time. We can request your medical records and compile evidence to support your claim. Let us navigate your claim and pursue the benefits you deserve as expediently as possible.
We Are Knowledgeable About Veterans’ Disability Benefits and Social Security Disability Benefits
Many military veterans with service-connected disabilities are unaware that they can collect disability benefits from the Social Security Administration (SSA) and U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) disability compensation at the same time. Don’t make the mistake of leaving this money on the table.
At Disability Law Group, our attorneys focus their practice on securing disability benefits before the Social Security Administration and are accredited before the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).
If you are a veteran with disabilities, it’s essential to understand how Social Security disability benefits work with your VA benefits. Here’s what you need to know:
- Veterans may be eligible for Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) benefits in conjunction with, or as an alternative to, VA disability compensation.
- VA service-connected disability benefits do not offset SSDI benefits for veterans, and vice versa.
- Veterans with a VA disability rating of 100 percent may qualify for expedited claims processing by the Social Security Administration.
- SSDI approval does not depend on your VA disability rating but on the Social Security Administration’s definition of disability.
At Disability Law Group, we recognize the importance of providing detailed and complete information and the unique legal strategies involved in every case. VA disability percentages hinge on the degree to which a disability disrupts a veteran’s daily life. We are well-versed in the intricacies of the VA disability claims process and the extensive information needed to prove a VA service connection disability. We advocate for veterans, helping them receive the benefits rightfully owed to them under both systems.
We Can Help with Your Appeal
Sometimes, veterans’ applications for disability benefits are denied, and they need help appealing the initial decision to access the benefits they deserve. Disability Law Group understands what it takes to challenge the VA’s decision through the appeals process and can provide valuable advice throughout this process. Furthermore, we can represent you before the Regional Office and the Board of Veterans Appeals. Our team of tenacious veterans’ disability attorneys has overturned numerous denials for clients in Michigan. Let us apply what we’ve learned through decades of combined experience to your case.
