Why Hire a Texas City Veterans Disability Lawyer?
Unfortunately, the VA is often more concerned with their bottom line than with helping veterans get the Disability benefits they’re entitled to.
When the VA wrongfully denies your claim or assigns you a lower Disability rating than you think you deserve, a Veterans Affairs Disability benefits claims lawyer can help you with the appeals process to help you get every dollar you deserve.
After all, you earned those benefits with your years of service. Don’t let the government deny you the money you need to survive after getting injured or ill in the line of duty.

How We Can Help With Your Veterans Disability Claim
If you’re curious about how we help veterans like you with their Disability claims, here are some of the ways we can help you get the benefits your service entitled you to.
Confirm Your Eligibility
We’ll first confirm your eligibility for VA Disability benefits by ensuring that both of these are true:
- You served on active duty for training, active duty, or inactive duty training, and
- You have a current condition (injury or illness) that affects your mind or body
One or more of these must also be true:
- You got injured or sick while serving in the military and can link your disability to this injury or illness or
- Serving in the military made an injury or illness you already had worse or
- Your disability didn’t show up until after your service ended, but you can prove a connection between your service and your disability.
Obtain Your C-File and Other Evidence
The experienced attorneys at Marc Whitehead & Associates don’t just go into your appeal blind. We gather evidence of your disability, including your VA Claims File (C-File), which contains your:
- Military service records
- C&P exams
- VA correspondence
- Post–service treatment records
- Service medical records
- VA legal documents, which contain appeals, findings, and decisions
Protect Your Rights
Throughout every step of the appeals process, we’ll represent your best interests and protect your rights.
Review Your Case
Before sending in the appeal, we’ll thoroughly review your case and determine whether all regulations were followed and the law was applied correctly in your situation.
Broken laws or regulations can provide us with additional ammunition for your appeal.
Help With Your Appeal
You can take three different paths with your appeal. We’ll help you determine which path may be best for your situation and increase your odds of getting approved for the proper Disability rating.

How to Appeal a VA Decision in Texas
You don’t need to lose hope if your initial application for Veterans Disability benefits was denied because you have three potential paths you can take to appeal the decision: a supplemental claim, a higher–level review, and an appeal to the board.
Let’s examine each path in more detail. Do you have questions? The compassionate Texas City Veterans Disability lawyers at Marc Whitehead & Associates can help you via phone call or Zoom, so you don’t even need to come into our office.
Supplemental Claim
If your claim was denied on the basis of too little evidence, you can do a supplemental claim appeal and submit additional evidence.
Often, if it takes a long time for the VA to review your claim, you may have additional doctor visits that provide extra proof of your disability, and you can use this to appeal the original decision.
Higher-Level Review
Don’t have any new evidence? You can ask for a more senior VA claims adjudicator to review your denied claim for benefits.
This is occasionally all you need to do for your application to get approved.
Appeal to the Board
An Appeal to the Board lets you ask to submit new evidence, ask for a direct review, or request a hearing in front of a judge. This is the slowest appeal process, but in some cases, it’s the best way to get the benefits you deserve.
