Taking Steps to Overturn a Warren, Michigan VA Disability Denial

If VA denied your application for  disability compensation , you may be able to build a compelling case to overturn this decision and receive benefits based on your service-related medical condition.

When applying for a grant of benefits from VA, veterans generally must provide proof of 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.

These are the three criteria you must meet to prove you qualify for disability  compensation.  You can collect all the necessary evidence yourself and submit a claim through the VA Fully Developed Claims Program, or VA can gather the evidence for you as part of its duty to assist.  Either way, the rating specialist evaluating your claim will look for evidence that you meet all criteria before awarding you a grant of benefits.

If they do not find proof of all three components, there is missing documentation, there are questions about your diagnosis or medical nexus, or there are other issues, the rating specialist may deny your claim.

You have a right to challenge this decision within one year after you receive the notice.

In the new appeals system under the Appeals Modernization Act, veterans can choose one of three appeal lanes, depending on their specific case.  They can:

  • Request a higher-level review by a senior rating specialist
  • Submit a supplemental claim with new and relevant evidence
  • Submit a Notice of Disagreement to the Board of Veterans’ Appeals.

If we accept your case, you can trust that the Chisholm Chisholm & Kilpatrick LTD team will use our knowledge and experience to gather the necessary evidence and fight your wrongful benefit denial.  Call (800) 544-9144 today to learn more.
