Has Your Claim Been Denied?

Filing a claim does not guarantee that you will be given any disability benefits. In fact, the amount of claims that are denied is quite shocking. Why would so many claims be denied when so many veterans are in need of aid? There is no easy answer to this question because there are a number of different reasons that a claim might be denied. The process is very slow and there are a large number of veterans filing claims. The sheer size of paperwork that must be filled out and processed is enough to keep the entire system backlogged for years.

Reasons for Rejected Claims

The reasons behind a rejected claim could go on forever. Our Veterans Help Group advocates find the following are common reasons for a denial:

Incomplete Medical Evidence
Incomplete Forms/Claims
Unprepared for VA Examinations
Insufficient Medical Opinions
Missed Deadlines
Unawareness of Potential Claims
Incorrect Strategy for Appeals
VA Applies Incorrect Legal Standard
VA Fails to Acknowledge Favorable Evidence
VA Neglects its Duty to Assist

If a previous claim for the same condition was denied, simply resubmitting it usually won’t work, you’ll generally need to file a Supplemental Claim with new and relevant evidence that VA didn’t have before. If you’re not ready to submit that evidence yet but want to protect your effective date while you gather it, you can file an Intent to File first.

My claim has been denied, now what?

If your claim has been rejected, there are a number of likely explanations. Perhaps you did not include all of the necessary information or enough evidence that your condition is a reality. Perhaps you missed a deadline or filled out the wrong form. There is even the possibility that your claim is still being processed. Whatever the reason, if your claim has been denied, you do not have to give up! You can request a decision review, a Supplemental Claim, a Higher-Level Review, or a Board Appeal, which can include a hearing if you choose that option, in an attempt to get the Department of Veterans Affairs to re-review and approve your claim. To ensure the best chance at a successful outcome, have an advocate at your side who will know what you must fill out and what information you need to provide. Working with a representative from our team can make the process easier and much quicker. You can fill out our case evaluation form HERE to get started.
