Veterans’ Disability

 

Veterans quickly discover the legal complexities of the veterans’ disability claims process. The laws that govern benefit compensation can be difficult to understand.  The lengthy administrative process is confusing and bureaucratic.

  • We possess a detailed understanding of the laws.
  • We secure necessary medical testimony and evidence.
  • We correspond with necessary offices and individuals on your behalf.
  • We accurately and completely document vital claim information.

Qualifying for Veteran Compensation and Pensions

 

Veterans who can prove they were injured during military service can be eligible for compensation and pensions. The two are different, each with specific eligibility requirements. An attorney experience in veterans’ disability matters can help you through the process.

 

Compensation is by far the most common claim and is not based on financial need. A successful compensation claim must prove three things:

 

  • Current diagnosed disability
  • Evidence of disease, injury, or debilitating event occurred while serving in the military
  • Proof that the disease, injury, debilitating event caused current disability

 

Pension eligibly is need based and can depend on the veteran’s current financial situation. To qualify for a pension, veterans must prove three things:

 

  • Total and permanent disability
  • Military service during a time of war
  • Income below specified limits

 

Veterans often discover that it can be difficult to prove the correlation between current disability and the damages incurred during military service.  The Mike Kelly Law Group will help you secure the resources necessary to prove that connection.

 

If you or your loved one needs legal assistance in applying for veterans’ disability benefits, we can help. Find out exactly what your rights are by contacting The Mike Kelly Law Group for a confidential, no-cost consultation at 866-959-4341 or complete our contact form.
