PTSD Disability Attorney: Fighting Back Against VA Claim Rejections

  • September 29, 2025

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is one of the most common service-connected disability among veterans. The condition could be caused by combat exposure, training accidents, or traumatic events during military life. Nightmares, flash-back intrusions, irritability, and social withdrawal are a few of the signs that most often compromise day-to-day life, employment, and relationships. Unfortunately, even though a disabling illness that has been validated by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) as a disabling illness is PTSD, many veterans struggle to have claims accredited or properly disability-roughly scored. This is where an experienced PTSD Disability Attorney is able to make a decisive difference.

Why VA PTSD Claims Get Rejected
The VA denies or underrates tens of thousands of PTSD claims annually. Among its most common excuses are:

  • Inadequate medical records – Veterans can have no up-to-date or comprehensive medical records.
  • Failure to show service connection – The VA could contend that the PTSD is not connected to military action.
  • Wrong C&P tests – Compensation & Pension testers sometimes underestimate or misinterpret signs.
  • Administrative errors – Missed deadlines, incomplete forms, or procedural mistakes can hurt a claim.

For veterans already dealing with PTSD, dealing with these issues without support can be difficult to bear.

How a PTSD Disability Lawyer Helps
A VA-recognized PTSD disability lawyer knows how to work through the system and advocate a justifiable result. At Vet Law Center, our lawyers do nothing but veterans’ disability benefits and appeals. We:

  • Collect medical records and expert testimony to make your case stronger
  • Accentuate severity of signs and impact upon daily life
  • Challenge invalid or imperfect C&P examination results
  • File appeals on time to save your rights
  • Go for maximum rating achievable so that you derive maximum benefits

As our practice is concentrated on veterans’ law, we have been familiarized with all rules, deadlines, and methods that will bring about a difference between denial and approval.

No Upfront Fees
Veterans should not have to worry about attorney fees in order to battle for benefits. Here at Vet Law Center, our services are offered on a contingency basis: you will pay no fees up front and we only collect if we recover benefits for you. That makes our agenda just like yours.
