Benefits & Claims Help

Our Post Benefits Advisor can help you prepare, file, and appeal VA disability claims, gather supporting documentation and evidence, and guide you through the process from start to finish.

What We Can Help You With

Every claim is different. Scan your paperwork, and we will walk through the options with you.

VA Disability Compensation

Help preparing and filing initial claims, increasing existing ratings, and appealing denials. We can request your medical records and advise you on gathering the supporting evidence.

Appeals & Higher-Level Review

Guidance on appeal options, including the VA Board of Veterans' Appeal, and help assembling a persuasive argument with supporting evidence.

Pension & Survivor Benefits

Information on VA pension, Dependency and Indemnity Compensation, and survivor benefits for qualifying family members.

Burial Benefits & Misc.

Help with burial allowance claims, house adaptation grants, automobile grants, and other benefits you may not know you qualify for.

Getting Ready

It is far better to start with what you have than to wait until you think you have a complete package.

Helpful to Send

  • ✔  DD-214 / discharge paperwork
  • ✔  VA decision letters
  • ✔  Documentation or letters from your doctor

Do Not Wait If

Contact the Benefits Advisor promptly if any of the following apply:

  • ✔  You received a VA claim denial
  • ✔  Your VA disability rating was reduced
  • ✔  You were discharged for a service-connected condition

VA filing deadlines can be strict. Pay particular attention to the deadline stated on your VA decision letter — many appeals and actions have a one-year deadline from the date of the letter.

If your deadline is close, call us today at (270) 781-1872.

Please note: we assist veterans and their families free of charge. We are not attorneys and cannot provide legal representation, but we can help you navigate the process and prepare your claim.
