Approximately 3.5 million veterans in the United States have a disability that hinders them from finding meaningful work and lowers their quality of life. Many disabled veterans, however, are unaware that they may be qualified for veterans' disability payments.

The attorneys at Kerr Robichaux and Carroll have extensive experience assisting veterans and their families to get the benefits they deserve. The VA makes it difficult for disabled veterans to obtain the assistance they require. Our firm has the resources, reputation, and experience necessary to take on the VA and win.

What Benefits Are Available to Disabled Veterans?

Veterans who become ill or wounded while serving in the military or whose service exacerbated an existing illness are eligible for VA disability compensation (pay). Physical illnesses and mental health issues that arose before, during, or after service may qualify you for VA disability compensation. If you or a loved one suffers from one of these ailments and need VA disability payments, seek legal advice as soon as possible to ensure a smooth application process.

If Your Benefits Are Denied, You Don't Have to Appeal the VA's Decision Alone

The VA may refuse a claim for various reasons, including a lack of proof that the impairment occurred while serving in the military or insufficient evidence that the debilitating condition still exists. You can and should appeal your VA decision if you've applied for VA service-connected disability benefits and been rejected or given a disability rating you don't agree with.

You have a few choices for appealing a denied application for service-connected compensation payments. However, all of the alternatives have one thing in common: you have one year from the date of your decision to file an appeal. The appeal and hearing system is complicated, and each option has its benefits and drawbacks. Whether or not a hearing is required, an expert veteran’s benefits attorney can thoroughly explain your legal rights and argue for your interests.

When the VA Reduces A Veteran's Disability Compensation Benefits, We Fight Back.

It can certainly be disheartening to find out that your disability benefits are going to be decreased after years of struggling through all the hassles and eventually getting disability benefits from the VA.

Before they may lawfully cut your benefits, the VA must follow specific legal criteria, such as keeping you informed of what you need to do to maintain your benefits and properly evaluating your medical records. As soon as you get a letter from the VA in which they indicate that they are proposing to reduce your Veteran Disability Compensation Benefits, it is vital to act immediately. There are things that a qualified and zealous attorney can do early on to stop the reduction process or ensure that the veteran has a greater chance of overturning the reduction at a Board of Veterans' Appeals (BVA), or a Court of Appeals for Veterans’ Claims (CAVC) hearing later on.

We Make A Difference When You Need It Most.

VA Disability FAQ

Why You Need a Professional Veteran’s Disability Lawyer in Your Corner

Veteran's Disability Law is a challenging area of the law to understand. Veterans could not employ VA disability attorneys to represent them before the Regional Office or the BVA before 2006. At that time, Congress amended the legislation, recognizing that veterans should have the ability to employ VA claim lawyers in this critical area of law. It is important that you engage a VA claims lawyer to assist you in your VA disability compensation claim.

With the team of experienced VA disability attorneys at Kerr Robichaux & Carroll supporting you, the benefits application process will proceed much more easily, and you have a far higher chance of success.
