Mistakes Veterans Make When Filing for VA Disability Benefits


Mistake #1: Waiting Too Long to File

When injured during service, a member’s first impulse may be to try to power through it. However, even if they are able to grit their teeth at first, the injury or exposure may worsen with age, especially if left untreated. According to Allsup’s VA Disability Benefits Survey(opens in new tab), the second largest group of veterans to file for benefits (29%) submit claims 10 or more years after separating. But the VA approval process doesn’t happen overnight. On average, it takes the VA 127 days(opens in new tab) to process a disability claim, and this timeline can quickly expand when complications and appeals are added to the equation.

Mistake #2: Failing to Show a Clear Connection

Lacking a clear connection between the health condition and a service-related injury or exposure is a common problem. In order to receive adequate benefits, veterans need a complete account of the circumstances around their injury or exposure. For instance, an individual with cancer who files an exposure claim must provide a clear explanation of the what, where, how and why that links the incident to their condition. If you are unclear of you have a clear connection to what you think is your service connected injury.
