Injured While Serving Our Country?
You served your country, giving up time with family and other opportunities. You should not have to sacrifice adequate medical care or financial assistance if you were injured or contracted an illness as a result of your service.

We can represent you during administrative and federal court appeals. For a free initial consultation, please call our El Paso VA disability benefits lawyer at 800-856-1031 or contact us online.
Physical and Mental Impairments That May Be Covered
U.S. Armed Forces veterans may be eligible for VA disability benefits if they suffered an injury or contracted an illness while in military service. We will work to prove a service connection to your impairment and, if necessary, argue for a higher disability rating. If VA disability benefits are granted, but you do not agree with the effective date of your disability, you may appeal that as well.
Some of the most common injuries and illnesses submitted for VA disability benefits claims include:
- Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
- Anxiety disorder or depression
- Agent Orange exposure
- Gulf War Syndrome
- Fibromyalgia or chronic fatigue syndrome
- Traumatic brain injury
- Back and spinal injuries
- Injuries to the legs, arms and joints
This is only a partial list of impairments. Please speak to one of our attorneys if you do not see your condition listed.
