Veterans (VA) Disability Lawyer Serving Maryland

Service-connected disability benefits are available through the Department of Veterans Affairs for disabled veterans who live in Maryland.  Upon approval for disability benefits, you will receive a monthly check plus ancillary benefits such as free healthcare. But being granted VA disability is not easy or automatic. As many veterans have learned, having a diagnosed disability is not a guarantee to receiving a grant of benefits on the first try. If you receive an unfavorable decision from VA, a veterans disability lawyer serving Maryland can help you file an appeal of your denied veterans benefits.

We offer a free, no-risk initial consultation to determine if we are able to help you with your case. To speak with a member of our legal team, call our office at 800-544-9144.

At Chisholm Chisholm & Kilpatrick LTD, Our Job Is to Help Maryland Veterans Win the VA Disability Benefits They Deserve

Chisholm Chisholm & Kilpatrick LTD is a dedicated law firm that works to secure VA disability benefits for deserving veterans. We give each client the personal care and service they deserve, taking the time to understand their unique situation and devise a strategy to put together the strongest, most compelling appeal for the benefits to which they are rightfully entitled.

A successful claim for VA disability has three components. First, we must prove that you have a diagnosed condition that meets VA’s standard for benefits. Second, we must identify an injury, illness, or event in service.  Third, we must show that the injury, illness, or event in service caused or contributed to your current diagnosed disability.

Proving You Have a Disabling Condition

The VA requires proof of a disabling condition to receive benefits.  This can come in the form of medical records, treatment notes, etc.

Your Condition Connects to Your Military Service

Just as important as establishing that you have a current, diagnosed condition, we must show that your condition was incurred during or due to your military service. To prove service connection, we rely on several forms of evidence. This evidence might include your military history and your medical records as well as statements from your treating physicians or fellow service members.

Determining your disability amount

To determine your disability benefit amount, VA rates the severity of your service-connected condition on a scale of 0 to 100%. This number, called your disability rating, is meant to represent the level to which your condition impacts your functional capacity. A condition rated at 100% typically indicates total disability; one rated at 0% is generally mild.  The job of our dedicated legal team is to gather and assemble the evidence we need to make clear the full extent of your condition.
