    Filing a VA Disability Claim? Know What to Do.

    After military service, many veterans—especially those who saw combat—suffer from deteriorated physical or mental health. While the United States Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) makes financial compensation available to veterans who have suffered a disability, applying for and receiving those benefits can often prove difficult.

    Filing a claim for VA Disability Benefits typically involves long lines, extensive paperwork, and protracted wait times. Sadly, some reports indicate hundreds of thousands of veterans have died before their applications for benefits were ever processed. If you are considering filing a claim for VA Disability Benefits, here are a few tips to help you avoid problems.

    If you’re applying for VA Disability Benefits, Carter Mario Law Firm can help you fill out the correct paperwork, stay organized, and remember your deadlines or appointments—all of which can greatly improve your odds of receiving an approval of your claim.
