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 a number of different reasons that a claim might be denied. The process is very slow and there 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. However, the United States Department of Veteran Affairs has provided the top ten reasons an application is blocked. These include the following:
- Duplicate Claim
- Explanation of Benefits (EOB) was not filed from the primary health insurance plan
- Claim was not filed on time
- Claim is an exact match of a previously filed claim
- Claim was made for a service date that is not eligible
- The Other Health Insurance (OHI) was not submitted
- Submitting the same bill twice
- Service requested is not covered
- OHI must be clarified
- Medical diagnosis is missing, unreadable, or invalid
Many of these issues are checked by an automated matching system to see if duplicates are being filed. It is not enough to just send in a claim that has already been denied. If you wish to do this, you must first notify the VA of your intent.
