Serving You From Our Offices in Charlotte, Raleigh, Fayetteville and Durham By Getting To Know You. We Serve the Injured and Disabled Throughout the Carolinas. We Are Prepared To Fight For the Benefits and Compensation That You Need and Deserve.
Once your veterans' disability claim has been denied and it is time to make an appeal, you will work closely with your advocate to prepare strong evidence of your eligibility, including the following:
- Evidence that you suffer from a disability
- Evidence of an incident, injury or illness during your military service
- Evidence of a link between your current disability and the service-related incident, injury or illness
During the appeals process, you can expect your lawyer to review your military file and medical records in detail, gathering evidence of the cause or origin of your disability.
If attorney Paul M. Goodson represents you, you will work closely with him from the beginning of the case through the administrative hearing. We understand that in many law firms, clients do not meet the lawyer who will accompany them at an appeals hearing until 15 minutes beforehand. Our clients do not have such a disadvantage.
Protecting Your Rights, Protecting You From Hassles
Clients of The Law Offices of Paul M. Goodson, P.C., appreciate the fact that from the time we take over their cases, we are the ones communicating with the Veterans Affairs. They experience relief from the detailed and sometimes complex interactions that can make a veterans disability benefits claim so challenging for the average veteran. In this sense, we protect our clients from unnecessary bureaucratic tedium throughout the VA appeals process.
At the same time, we work to ensure that our veteran clients' disability ratings will accurately reflect their current inability to work at full earning capacity. The determination of the disability rating may mean thousands of dollars in difference over time in the benefits that they are qualified to receive.
If you are receiving Social Security Disability benefits and your VA disability rating is currently at less than 100 percent, we urge you to call us as soon as possible. Discuss with our lawyer the process involved in getting your VA disability rating corrected.
Pursue the Compensation You Need and Deserve
We are prepared to advise you on the most likely routes to a successful benefit claim or appeal. Our goal is to help you recover the full financial compensation you deserve.
