Additional Claim Development

Developing a successful claim for veteran’s benefits requires thorough documentation and compelling evidence. Key components include service records, medical evaluations, and statements from healthcare providers. Veterans should gather their DD Form 214, which details service history, and any service treatment records that highlight injuries or illnesses sustained during military service. Collecting relevant medical documentation, such as diagnoses, treatments, and ongoing care plans, strengthens the claim.

Was your claim for VA disability benefits incorrectly denied? Were you given a low disability rating that’s not representative of your service-connected condition?

If so, we recommend filing an appeal with the help of one of our veteran disability lawyers in California.

Our VA benefits attorneys can assist with additional development of your claim including obtaining buddy statements from peers who can attest to the veteran’s experiences and in some instances, obtaining vocational expert reports which may be helpful in appealing your VA decisions. These reports can be helpful in support of total disability individual unemployability (TDIU) claims. Our veteran disability lawyers will also help you gather an array of other evidence that may be helpful to your claim, such as tax and employment records.

Understanding the specific requirements set forth by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is crucial to ensure a comprehensive claim. Proper documentation not only expedites the claims process but also significantly enhances the chances of approval for veterans seeking the benefits they deserve.
