Our Claims Increasing Process

Initial Consultation

The process begins with a one-on-one discussion to understand your concerns, review your VA decision letter, and assess your eligibility for an increased disability rating. This consultation helps identify potential errors and determine the best course of action.

Case Evaluation

A detailed evaluation of your case is conducted to identify why the VA assigned a lower rating. This includes analyzing your C&P Exams, treatment records, and the reasoning behind the VA’s decision. Areas for improvement or additional evidence are pinpointed to strengthen your appeal.

Evidence Gathering

Essential documentation is gathered to build a compelling case for your appeal. This may include updated lay evidence, treatment records, statements from healthcare providers, and nexus letters to demonstrate your condition’s severity.

Appeal Execution

Once the evidence is ready, the appeal is prepared and filed with precision. Depending on your situation, this may involve submitting a Higher-Level Review, a Supplemental Claim, or an appeal to the Board of Veterans’ Appeals.

Frequently Asked Questions

Some frequently asked questions about the service that you may have questions about

What does it mean to have a low disability rating?

A low disability rating means the VA has determined that your service-connected condition is not severe enough to warrant higher monthly compensation. This rating may not accurately reflect the full extent of your disability or its impact on your life.

What happens if I had a poor C&P exam?

A poor Compensation & Pension (C&P) exam can significantly impact your VA rating decision. If the examiner didn’t fully document your symptoms, didn’t ask the right questions, or downplayed your condition, it could result in an inaccurate rating. You can appeal this decision and submit additional evidence, such as updated medical records, a private medical opinion, or lay statements describing the severity of your disability.

How can I better prepare for a C&P exam?

Being prepared for a C&P exam is crucial. Make sure you:

- Clearly and honestly describe your symptoms, including how they affect your daily life.

- Avoid minimizing your pain or limitations—this is not the time to “tough it out.”

- Bring updated medical records, treatment notes, or statements from doctors that support your case.

- Write down all your symptoms beforehand so you don’t forget to mention anything during the exam.

Can I appeal if my C&P exam led to a low rating?

Yes, if you believe a poor C&P exam resulted in an unfair rating, you can file an appeal. I can help you gather additional evidence, request a new C&P exam, or submit a private medical opinion that accurately reflects the severity of your condition.

Is there a deadline to appeal my disability rating?

Yes, you have one year from the date on your VA decision letter to file an appeal. Acting quickly is crucial to protect your right to appeal and preserve the effective date of your original claim.
