Why Are So Many Veterans Denied Disability Benefits_

Why Are So Many Veterans Denied Disability Benefits?

For many Veterans, returning home from service should be the start of a new chapter. Instead, thousands face long delays, confusing paperwork, and denied VA disability claims.

The VA claims process can be complex and time-consuming. Even legitimate claims may be delayed for months or years due to strict requirements, missing documentation, or service-connection challenges.

You earned these benefits through your service. You should not have to fight another battle at home to receive them.

The Challenges of the VA Claims Process

Applying for VA disability benefits often requires extensive medical records, proof of service connection, and detailed documentation. Many Veterans are initially denied, even when they qualify for benefits.

Common challenges include:

  • Initial claim denials
  • Difficulty proving service connection
  • Missing or incomplete records
  • Lengthy wait times for decisions
  • Complex appeals procedures

These obstacles can create unnecessary stress for Veterans and their families during an already difficult time

FAQs

What are VA disability benefits?

VA Disability is a tax-free monthly benefit paid to Veterans who are at least 10% disabled because of injuries or diseases that were incurred in or aggravated during their time in the military.

  • A current diagnosis of a disability
  • A nexus (connection between your condition and service)
  • An in-service event, injury, or illness

You can apply by submitting VA Form 21-526EZ through Veterans Affairs. Our office can also assist you with filing your claim

New and Supplemental Claims normally are processed in 6-12 months. If you enter the appeals process, it can take an additional 4-6 years depending on many factors.

Currently, it can take up to 4 years after an appeal is filed to receive a hearing in front of a Veterans Law Judge. Timelines are subject to VA discretion and may change.

Yes, unless you are pursuing Individual Unemployability. In that case, you must prove your service-connected disabilities prevent you from working.

Yes. A static rating means the VA will not schedule routine re-exams. However, if you file for an increase and undergo a new C&P exam showing improvement, the VA may propose a reduction. If you have held your rating for 20 years, it is protected. If a reduction is proposed, you can request a hearing.

The VA uses “VA math,” which does not simply add percentages together. New ratings are calculated based on your existing combined rating. Think of it like applying multiple discounts to a purchase – each percentage is applied to what remains. To see how this works, visit JanDils.com and try out our VA Disability calculator.

A C-File (Claims File) includes all VA medical records, private records submitted to VA, past VA decisions, military medical records, military administrative records, and all evidence ever submitted in your claim history.

Our team thoroughly reviews every part of the file, identifies all potential impairments, evaluates the supporting evidence, and makes recommendations about additional evidence needed to strengthen the claim. Case Managers then review this strategy with the client.

    Client Testimonials
    “I tried on my own for three decades to attain disability for service-related issues incurred while serving offshore during the Vietnam War, without success. I found Jan Dils, Attorneys at Law, online and signed a contract for them to take my case. They did 100% of the initial paperwork process. The only delays throughout the entire 5+ years were those created and caused by the Veterans Administration process. After denials and delays, Jan and her team acquired a 100% service-connected disability rating for me! I was moved to tears along the way by the care, tenacity, and professionalism of every person who was ‘on my team.’ The attorney who represented me was the best I’ve ever had in my entire life. A 5-star rating is not high enough-I give them 10 stars!”
    Thomas
    “After filing my own claims, I had been denied an increase multiple times over the past 10 years. On my last attempt, I decided to use an attorney and contacted the office of Jan Dils, Attorneys at Law. My request for information was answered the same day with a thorough interview. I followed the instructions provided and gave the requested authorizations. Jan Dils’ office collected all the medical records needed and filed my claim within a short time. All I had to do was show up for my physical exam. My claim was settled within six months, and I received the maximum rating. For anyone filing a claim, I highly recommend using Jan Dils. There was no delay due to misfiling or missing information, and the claim wording was much better than I would have submitted. I have already recommended Jan Dils, Attorneys at Law to two other Veterans. I would give her office 5 stars.”
    Don
    “I am forever grateful for all who helped my husband, Robert, receive his 100% VA disability. After he passed, they helped me receive his back pay and DIC that I didn’t even know I was entitled to. Jan Dils, Attorneys at Law are so professional, truly know how to work with the VA, and treated us like family. I have no words to express my gratitude.”
    Donna
    “I recently had the pleasure of working with Jan Dils, Attorneys at Law on my VA benefits case, and I couldn’t be more satisfied with their services. From the beginning, their team demonstrated a deep understanding of VA law and a strong commitment to Veterans’ rights. They guided me through the complex process with clarity and compassion, ensuring I understood every step. They were always available to answer my questions and provided timely updates on my case. Their professionalism and expertise were evident throughout the entire process, and their dedication to achieving the best possible outcome for me was truly impressive.”
    Amanda
    “I had been fighting to get 100% disability from the VA for 15 years before seeking assistance from Jan Dils, Attorneys at Law. In less than six months, I received my 100%, which is extremely impressive. I wish I had known about them earlier. It was also amazing to know that all retroactive payments came directly to me. I wasn’t charged anything by the firm. It really brought me to tears. Thank you so much, Jan Dils Attorneys at Law!”
    Valerie
    “After being denied for a VA disability claim, a fellow Veteran advised me to contact Jan Dils, Attorneys at Law. After taking my claim, they completed all the paperwork. The only thing I had to do was answer the phone and respond to their questions. After approximately 18 months, my claim was granted at 10% service-connected. Jan then filed an appeal, and after it was heard, I was granted 70% service-connected. Jan and the firm are the real deal. The staff was courteous, professional, and straightforward. I highly recommend the firm to anyone.”
