Veterans Benefits Denial Lawyer

Unfortunately, thousands of veteran’s claims are filed every year and the government often rejects or denies these claims, even when the family needs and deserves those benefits.

Veterans Disability Benefits vs. Social Security Disability Insurance
Veteran’s Disability Benefits are different from Social Security Disability Insurance claims. This can be complicated to do alone. Having a lawyer from Woods and Woods on your side may help you get your claim filed and facilitate you getting the money you need—the money you deserve—for your injuries.

Remember that you may be eligible for Veterans Benefits even if you are receiving Social Security or if you are still working.

Disabling Injuries and Serious Illnesses
Our country’s fighting men and women suffer from a tremendous range of physical and mental health problems, from back pain to post-traumatic stress disorder. Traumatic brain injuries, severe burns, spinal cord injuries, exposure to toxic chemicals, and severe lacerations are but a few of the many conditions veterans suffer.

Other health problems include, but are not limited to:

Cancer
Diabetes
Gulf War Syndrome
Orthopedic or back problems
Depression
Posttraumatic Stress Disorder
Many other illnesses

Veteran Demographics
According to the Department of Veterans Affairs, there are 23.4 million living veterans and 37 million dependants of living veterans and survivors of deceased veterans. This accounts for about 20% of the U.S. population. The number of people who are affected when a veteran claim is reduced, denied, or ignored is tremendous. Woods and Woods wants to help as many people as we can in their time of need.

How Do I Apply for Benefits?
You can begin the application process by filing form VA 21-526, Veterans Application for Compensation or Pension or you can file online at the Department of Veterans Affairs Online Application (VONAPP) Web site.
