Get the Rating You Deserve: Support from a VA-Certified Attorney in Los Angeles
When veterans experience issues with their VA disability rating, they try to search for a VA-Certified Attorney in Los Angeles. After serving the country for many years, veterans should receive an accurate and fair rating of their disabilities. Getting the correct rating can often feel like running through a maze filled with medical records, evidence requirements, and the confusing phrases used by the VA, with little to no assistance. A legal professional who is certified in veterans law can provide the assistance that, if there is any difference in how the VA interprets a service-connected condition, it would have been in the veteran’s favor.
At Veterans Law Center, we understand the frustration veterans go through when their rating doesn’t accurately reflect their true conditions. Pain, trauma, and long-term limitations may not be documented in such a way that can be easily revealed through the paperwork, especially when symptoms are intermittent, delayed, or developed over time. Without the correct documentation and arguments, the VA can undervalue the impairment, and the ensuing rating fails to meet a veteran’s basic needs. Our mission is to protect the benefits veterans have earned, while minimizing the obstacles that delay and discourage progress.
How Veterans Law Center Supports a Stronger VA Disability Rating?
Filing a disability claim and improving it is not simply understanding Veterans Affairs (VA) processes: it also requires an understanding of how disabilities affect everyday life. We help veterans avoid pitfalls like:
Documenting the Full Extent of Symptoms
Many veterans either minimize or understate their physical or behavioral problems, whether by habit or sense of pride. When this kind of understated reporting happens, the VA can assess the condition as being less severe overall. We help veterans obtain accurate medical records, statements regarding real-life impact, and evaluations from experts that help demonstrate the full extent of symptoms.
Strengthening the Service Connection
The chance for a higher rating is primarily dependent on the VA making a clear connection between military service and how your service caused or affected the symptoms of the disability. If the connection is weak or unclear, ratings frequently fall short as well. We help tell the veteran’s complete story, linking what happened during military service to how it affects life today
Preventing Underrating from VA Exams
C&P exams are critical to secure appropriate ratings. However, if an examiner overlooks important symptoms or fails to consider how a certain condition negatively impacts a veteran’s life, that rating will be diminished. Our practice examines exam notes, recognizes that all of the necessary details will be remedied or improve a veteran’s chances of a better document in support of a claim.
Additional Remedies We Use to Fight Back Against Ratings:
Addressing an Incorrect VA Decision
Evidence can be compelling, and even when the rating should be adjusted, sometimes the VA simply does not pay attention to the evidence and has an incorrect, faulty, or mistaken judgment. Our attorneys are used to reading decision letters on behalf of the veteran line for line, and recognizing if there are, in fact, mistakes or deficiencies in the review of the claim, rating, or contrary medical evidence. From there, we assist in developing a strong appeal to do something about it.
Providing Legal Expertise at Every Level
Our professional representation is available for veterans from the beginning claim to Board of Veterans’ Appeals hearings. Veterans will never have to worry about unclear language, terminology, or deadlines by themselves: we will walk you through each step with transparency and confidence.
