Protecting the Rights of Veterans
If you are a veteran of any branch of the U.S. Armed Forces, you may be eligible for VA disability benefits if you were injured or contracted an illness while serving in the military. Unfortunately, the VA disability benefits process can be lengthy and complex. You may need an attorney's assistance to get the benefits you deserve.
At the Law Offices of Coats & Todd, we represent veterans throughout Texas and the nation. We understand that waiting for benefits is difficult, so we work hard for our clients. We have attorneys who are accredited by the VA to handle your claim. For a free initial consultation, please call our Dallas VA disability benefits lawyer at 800-856-1031 or contact us online today.
What Type of Benefits Can I Receive?
VA disability benefits include financial compensation and medical benefits. The amount of compensation you may receive is based primarily on the ratings decision you are given. The VA rates impairments from 10 percent to 100 percent disabling. If you receive a rating of 30 percent or higher, you may be eligible for additional compensation for your dependents. If VA disability benefits are granted, but you do not agree with the effective date of your disability, you may appeal that as well.
In addition to financial compensation, you may be entitled to medical benefits based on your ratings decision. Depending on your circumstances, you may also be eligible for other types of available benefits such as vocational rehabilitation, education and training assistance, employment assistance and total disability based on individual unemployability (TDIU) compensation.
Injuries and Illnesses Caused by Your Service
We handle VA disability claims for many injuries and illnesses, including:
- Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
- Agent Orange exposure
- Gulf War Syndrome
- Fibromyalgia
- Traumatic brain injury
- Back and spinal injuries
- Injuries to the extremities
To receive VA disability benefits, you must prove the service connection of your illness. We will gather the medical evidence to support this assertion. If your medical condition was not diagnosed while you were serving in the military, but was caused by an accident or exposure while you were in service, you are still eligible for disability benefits.
