How a League City Veterans Disability Attorney Can Help

These are just a few of the ways we can assist you, so contact a League City Veterans Disability lawyer today for a free consultation.
Protect Your Rights
The biggest way we help veterans is by informing them about and protecting their rights throughout every stage of the process.
If you aren’t fully aware of your rights, the US Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) may trounce all over them–intentionally or unintentionally–in favor of reducing how much the department pays out to veterans each month.
Review Your Case
The VA might have violated regulations or broken laws when they denied your claim, so we’ll review every detail of your case to help support your appeal.
Prove You’re Eligible
Confirming your eligibility for VA Disability benefits ensures you don’t waste your time filing an appeal you won’t win. To be eligible for Veterans Disability benefits, both of the following must be true:
- You have a current condition (illness or injury) affecting your body or mind, and
- You served on inactive duty training, active duty, or active duty for training
Additionally, one or more of the following must also be true:
- Serving in the military worsened an illness or injury you already had before enlisting, or
- You became sick or injured while serving, and you can prove your current disability is linked to that illness or injury, or
- You can prove a connection between your disability and your service even though your disability didn’t show up until after your service ended
Gather Evidence, Including Your C-File
We’ll gather all the evidence we can to support your appeal, including your VA Claims File (also known as a C-File), which holds things like your:
- VA legal documents, including decisions, findings, and appeals
- Service medical records
- Post-service treatment records
- VA correspondence
- C&P exams
- Military service records
Help With Your Appeal
No matter which of the three appeals pathways you take with your claim, we’ll be with you every step of the way, giving you the best odds of getting your application approved and receiving the Disability rating you deserve.

Appealing a VA Disability Benefits Decision
If the VA denied your initial application for Veterans Benefits, you have three potential paths you can take to appeal that decision: a higher–level review, a supplemental claim, and an appeal to the board.
Higher-Level Review
If you already submitted all the evidence you have about your disability and nothing new has come up while you’ve been waiting for the VA’s decision, you can ask the VA to have a more senior claims adjudicator review your application, and they might reverse the denial.
Supplemental Claim
Have you had additional doctor’s appointments, exams, and tests since you first applied for Veterans Disability?
A supplemental claim allows you to submit additional evidence of your disability and its connection to your military service.
Appeal to the Board
While an Appeal to the Board takes longer than the other two appeals processes, this pathway allows you to ask for a direct review, submit new evidence, or request a hearing in front of a judge.
The experienced lawyers at Marc Whitehead & Associates can help regardless of which appeal pathway you choose, so schedule a free, no–obligation consultation today.
