US Department of Veterans Affairs

The US Department of Veterans Affairs was designed to offer programs for veterans and their families, everything from education opportunities, to rehabilitation services, compensation payments for disabilities, to health care and much more. While the purpose behind these programs is honorable, their implementation has not always been high quality.

Countless veterans and service members have suffered at the hands of the VA each year due to medical malpractice. If this has happened to you or someone you know, Whiting & Bruner, a team specializing in VA law, can help you fight to get the compensation you deserve.

VA Disability Compensation

One of the programs available to veterans and their family members is Disability Compensation, which is a monthly tax-free payment to veterans who got sick or injured while serving in the military. Individuals can qualify for this program with physical conditions and mental health conditions that developed before, during, or after their service. 

In order to start receiving this compensation, you must file a claim. Within the claim, you have to ensure that you are eligible and you must provide evidence, supporting documents, that you’ll submit with your claim. In addition, you can expect that your discharge papers will also be reviewed, as well as your other service records.

From the date you open your claim application, you will have 365 days to complete the application and submit any and all evidence. It takes, on average, about 162 days for the VA to make a decision on your disability claim. Retaining a lawyer can help make this process faster and can take any unnecessary stress away from you and your family.
