Building a Case for an Appeal of Your VA Disability Denial

A veteran (VA) disability lawyer serving Cambridge, Massachusetts, from Chisholm Chisholm & Kilpatrick may be able to help you appeal a VA disability denial. We understand how much receiving a combined disability rating and the accompanying VA disability compensation could mean for your family’s financial stability.

Generally, a grant of VA disability benefits requires three things:

  • An in-service event, injury, or illness;
  • A current diagnosis by a medical professional; and
  • A medical nexus, or link, between your in-service event, injury, or illness and your current diagnosis

If the rating specialist who reviewed your case did not find evidence of these three things, you may be able to take additional action to prove your case. We can help you decide which option best fits your case. Under the new AMA system of appeals, veterans can:

  • Request a Higher-Level Review of your case by a senior rating specialist;
  • File a Supplemental Claim with new and relevant evidence; or
  • File a Notice of Disagreement with the Board of Veterans’ Appeals

You have one year from the date on your decision letter to file an appeal, so it is beneficial to act quickly after you receive a denial.

To discuss your case with a member of our team, contact Chisholm Chisholm & Kilpatrick. We use our knowledge of the VA disability claims process and our experience with similar cases to appeal benefit denials in Cambridge, MA.

We can gather documents, help you identify additional evidence, and ensure you meet all critical deadlines when filing an appeal. Call (800) 544-9144 today to learn more about how we may be able to help.
