How a Beaumont Veterans Disability Attorney Can Assist You
Since our attorneys have extensive experience with VA disability claims, we can help you with your appeal and do so much more than that to improve your odds of getting the compensation you’re entitled to.
Here are some of the ways we can assist you with your Veterans Disability claim.
Protect Your Rights
First, we’ll make sure you understand your rights so the VA can’t stomp on them.
We’re big on educating our clients about their rights, whether it’s via our free veterans disability claims eBook or in a free, no-obligation consultation.
Review Your Case
Regardless of where you are in the application or appeals process, we’ll review your case’s details and figure out the best way to help you get the benefits you paid for.
We’ll specifically check to see if the VA broke any regulations or laws by denying your valid claim for VA benefits.
Prove Your Eligibility
Just because you’re a veteran who is now disabled, that doesn’t automatically make you eligible for Veterans Disability benefits.
One of the first things we’ll do after you contact us is to check your VA disability benefits eligibility. To qualify, you’ll need to prove both that you have a current injury or illness affecting you and that you served on active duty, active duty for training, or inactive duty training.
At least one of the following statements must also be true:
- Military service worsened a pre-existing condition you had before enlisting, or
- You can show a link between your current disability and an injury or illness you experienced while serving, or
- You can show that your disability and your military service are linked, despite your service ending before you started showing symptoms of your disability.
Collect Evidence, Including Your C-File
To support your application or appeal for benefits, we’ll collect plenty of evidence, including your VA Claims File (C-File), which contains:
- VA legal documents, including appeals, findings, and other decisions
- VA correspondence
- Military service records
- C&P exams
- Service medical records
- Post-service treatment records
Assist With Your Appeal
Our compassionate attorneys will explain the three different appeals pathways, help you decide which pathway may be best for you, and improve your chances of having your application approved and getting the Disability rating you’re entitled to.

How Much does a Veterans Disability Lawyer in Beaumont Cost?
If you’re currently unemployed or underemployed due to your disability, you probably don’t have a bunch of extra money lying around to hire a Beaumont Veterans Disability lawyer, so we work on contingency fees at Marc Whitehead & Associates.
Instead of asking you for money upfront, we’ll take a percentage of the money we get for you.
With no fees until we win, our free consultations are truly free without any hidden charges, so call us today.

How to Appeal a VA Disability Benefits Decision
The VA provides three different pathways for the appeals process, each with its own pros and cons. Here’s a brief explanation of each pathway.
Appeal to the Board
The pathway with the most options–but also the longest timeframe for resolution–is an appeal to the board, where you can submit new evidence, request a direct review, or ask for a hearing in front of a judge.
Supplemental Claim
Since filing your original application, have you had more imaging, lab tests, or other doctor visits that support your Disability claim?
If so, a supplemental claim gives you the opportunity to submit additional evidence of your disability and how it’s connected to your military service.
Higher-Level Review
In some cases, simply asking for a more senior claims adjudicator to review your claim may be enough to reverse the denial and secure you the benefits you fought for.
