Your
years of military service are appreciated not only by your fellow
Americans but more importantly by the U.S. government. If you’ve
been injured as a result of your military service, you are entitled
to disability benefits according to the program of the U.S.
Department of Veteran Affairs. This program provides income to
veterans who lost the capability to remain in service due to injuries
or disabilities.
The
benefits are given to the former
military member
or his or her dependent or dependents (spouse and/or children). Even
if you are only 10 percent disabled, you are still entitled to a
fixed, tax-free, monthly compensation. However, you must first
accomplish the necessary forms and provide the required documents.
Some
veterans though are discouraged by the long process involved to
declare eligibility for the benefits. At times, the request may even
be denied by the VA office, at which point a request for appeal can
be made. A veterans disability lawyer can make those appeals lead to
positive results.
For
some, getting the benefits is easy due to their apparent
qualifications. For instance, former military service personnel who
are disabled or have been medically diagnosed with a disability are
more likely to be granted with the benefits than those who do not
have apparent disabilities or injuries. If you are in the same case,
do not think twice to apply for disability benefits, however.
