According to date published by the Department of Veterans Affairs, VA disability appeal lawyers can improve the chances of winning on appeal. According to the same report, veterans that appeal with representation win more than twice as often as when the veteran goes it alone.
There are no tow situations alike, some cases are better suited for legal assistance than others, if you are considering hiring a lawyer, here are a few of the benefits:
Lawyers know the law:
The law and its associated rules and regulations are extremely complex. Because there are so many errors made by the VA it stands to reason that even the staff that review claims have difficulty in understanding and applying the law correctly. The VA makes no bones about it; they do make far too many mistakes which in turn result in unnecessary delay in granting benefits.
VA disability appeal lawyers know the laws and they know how to apply them. Not every lawyer can represent your interests, they must be accredited by the VA and to keep their status they must stay up to date on all the changes by taking continued education courses.
Build a winning case:
Lawyers are very skilled in this area; they can take every shred of evidence and use it to build a case to support your claim. If your claim was denied due to lack of supporting evidence, your lawyer knows other ways to demonstrate the facts. The lawyer can arrange for medical experts to render their opinion, statements from people that witnessed the incident can be used effectively to bolster your claim. Always remember though, no attorney can guarantee a win, what he or she can do is to guarantee that they will present a forceful appeal.
Don’t be concerned that you can’t afford to hire VA disability appeal lawyers, you can. These lawyers work on contingency which means they get paid out of your past due benefits when the case is settled in your favor.
