How Do I Appeal A VA Disability Benefits Decision?

 

A: In some cases, your valid veterans disability benefits claim could be wrongfully denied – or your compensation might not be enough. Luckily, you can go to the Board of Veterans Appeals and begin the VA Appeals process immediately. You have one year to appeal either the denial of your claim or the amount of your claim.

To begin the appeal, submit a written statement to your regional VA office explaining that you disagree with their decision and wish to appeal. Next, you will submit an official form (Form 9) to the board within 60 days of sending the letter. Next, you will need to find representation, such as a veterans disability benefits attorney, as well as authorization for your representation. Next, you will collect evidence regarding your appeal and request a hearing. Finally, after the hearing, you will receive a decision from the Board of Appeals.

If you still disagree with the board’s decision, you may appeal again, this time to the U.S. Court of Veterans Appeals for Veterans Claims.

Do you need to find legal representation for your veterans’ disability benefits claim apeal, or do you have questions about the appeals process? Call us today and get help with your VA benefits claim from an experienced Texas attorney.
