Benefits for Physical and Mental Medical Impairments
Veterans of any branch of the U.S. Armed Forces may be eligible for VA disability benefits if they suffered an injury or contracted an illness while serving in the military. We will help you prove a service connection 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. We can represent you during administrative and federal court appeals.
Some of the most common injuries and illnesses submitted for VA disability benefits claims include:
- Traumatic brain injury and traumatic or cumulative injuries to the back and spinal cord, and arms, legs and joints.
- Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) — PTSD may cause panic attacks, flashbacks to the traumatizing event, fear of event recurrence, restlessness and avoidant behavior. Headaches or sleeplessness may also be a problem.
- Agent Orange — Veterans who served in the Vietnam War and were exposed to Agent Orange, a poisonous herbicide, may suffer diseases such as cancer, diabetes, Parkinson's disease or ischemic heart disease.
- Gulf War Syndrome — For veterans who served in Southwest Asia during the Persian Gulf War after August 2, 1990 and up to present day. Conditions may include undiagnosed illnesses or multi-symptom illnesses such as fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome and irritable bowel syndrome.
This is only a partial list of impairments. Please speak to one of our attorneys if you do not see your condition listed.
