Veterans Benefits Lawyer in Big Pine Key, FL

Veterans Benefits Lawyer in Big Pine Key, FL

As a veteran, you’ve devoted years of your life to protect your country. In return, you expect the VA to assist you if you’ve developed physical or mental conditions or disabilities as a result of your service. However, applying for VA benefits can be a time-consuming and complex process. 

In some cases, the VA will deny your initial claim for benefits. If this happens, you’ll have to go through their appeals process. The appeals process can involve higher-level reviews or a hearing before a judge. 

If you’re applying for new VA benefits or need assistance in the appeals process, a veterans benefits lawyer in Big Pine Key, FL, can help. Morgan & Morgan offers free consultations to all of our prospective clients, and we can assist you with your claim. 

Qualifying for Veterans Benefits

To qualify for veterans benefits, you must have spent some time in the military. Veterans who served on active duty or were in training meet this requirement. 

Veterans seeking VA benefits must have a physical or mental medical condition they developed during their military service. Veterans may also receive benefits if they had a preexisting condition that worsened while in the military, or if they did not present symptoms of an illness until after they left the service. 

The VA does not grant disability benefits to individuals with a discharge of other than honorable, bad conduct, or dishonorable status. However, you can apply for a discharge upgrade. It’s best to seek the advice of a veterans benefits lawyer in Big Pine Key, FL, if you need help upgrading your discharge to receive VA benefits.

Common health conditions that qualify for VA benefits include:

  • Ulcer
  • Hearing loss
  • Back pain or disability
  • Difficulty breathing
  • Traumatic brain injury (TBI)
  • Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
  • Depression or anxiety
  • Toxic chemical exposure

A physician can determine whether you have medical conditions that may make you eligible to collect VA benefits.
