Disabled Veterans Benefits
VA disability benefits can include financial compensation and medical benefits. The amount of compensation you receive is largely based on the ratings decision you are given. The VA rates impairments on a disability scale of 10 percent to 100 percent. If the disability rating you receive is too low to get the benefits you need, we can help you appeal. If VA disability benefits are granted, but you do not agree with the effective date of your disability, you may appeal that as well.
Depending on your financial situation and the nature of your injuries, you may be eligible for additional benefits such as:
- Vocational rehabilitation
- Education and training assistance
- Employment assistance
- Total disability based on individual unemployability (TDIU) compensation
Please speak with one of our attorneys to discuss whether you may be eligible for these benefits.
Debilitating Mental and Physical Impairments
VA disability benefits are available for many types of physical and mental injuries, and illnesses caused by military service. These may include conditions such as:
- Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
- Agent Orange exposure
- Gulf War Syndrome
- Fibromyalgia
- Hearing loss
- Traumatic brain injury
- Back and spinal cord injuries
- Hip, knee and leg injuries
Please note that this is only a partial list of impairments. Your condition may entitle you to VA disability benefits even if it is not listed above.
