What should I include when applying for VA Benefits?
You should include any medical evidence you have to prove your claim. Many veterans are unjustly denied VA Benefits simply because they don’t present the proper medical evidence in the manner that the Veterans Administration wants. Submitting evidence can be difficult and very time consuming.
Each type of VA Benefits application should have different types of evidence. Here are some examples:
Agent Orange exposure can be difficult to prove. Many service records have been lost or destroyed. Lots of vets can’t even prove they served in the Vietnam War from DOD records. Agent Orange claims can be proven by old photos of veterans serving abroad. You can also submit letters from other service members saying they served with you.
For PTSD claims, you should submit statements from friends and family showing how your behavior changed after your service. Veterans should include statements from fellow service members that can prove a traumatic event occurred.
You will have to be able to show the service-connected of secondary impairments. For example, you will need to prove that your neuropathy is from you diabetes. Proving secondary service-connected impairments gets difficult and we highly suggest you contact a VA benefits lawyer.
Mental conditions require all kinds of evidence. It is best if your are treating with a psychologists or other mental health professional. Veterans may submit statements from friends and family confirming the existence of a mental condition.
