Veterans and their families face unique challenges when a loved one faces a disabling injury. When that injury is progressive, the Veteran suffering from it may experience increasing disability over time after active service is completed.
In most of these cases, the Veteran's Affairs assessors are hesitant to accept they are responsible, even when it may seem obvious to the Veteran and their family.
If you are a Veteran or a Veteran's immediate family, and this experience sounds familiar to you, call us for a free evaluation. We will help you determine the best path forward.
The VA disability process allows veterans or their immediate family to appeal any injuries they feel may qualify, but the VA's assessors haven't yet granted. Individual filers applying for an appeal will face an administrative Judge and must overcome the weight of the VA assessor's opinion.
Your best chance of being awarded Veterans' benefits is when you have your own medical opinion. Our law firm will get a qualified doctor's medical opinion to support your appeal, and we will present it to the administrative Judge on your behalf.
Once your claim for disability benefits has been approved, you can request a higher VA rating any time you need one. The VA is aware that this change may occur over time, which is expected as you get older.
Dickey Anderson Law Firm can help you get your VA disability rating increased. The VA frequently grants a service connection to an injury without a rating. If this has happened to you, we can help you pursue a revised rating with the assistance of qualified medical evaluators.
Post-Traumatic Stress-Disorder is one of the most common but underreported service-related injuries in Veterans that served in a combat zone or other deployment downrange.
Many of those same Veterans are or were proud combat-ready service members. Who are aware that an active duty treatment for PTSD might prevent them from continuing to fight with their fellow soldiers.
Many Veterans face a point in their service where they've considered asking for help for mental health.
If you have PTSD, it may not matter whether or not you're on active duty or post-service. The effects linger for a lifetime and impact your loved ones.
If you're a Veteran concerned about the reporting of PTSD to any entity, especially the VA, call and discuss it with us. We can have your situation reviewed by medical consultants and find you the help you need. We will help you whether you seek to report it for compensation to the VA or choose to keep it a private matter.
It is an honor to serve our nation's veterans who built this country.
