Veteran Mental Health Disability Attorneys
Service-connected mental health conditions extend beyond Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) for veterans, with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) claiming that an estimated 2.8 million veterans receive disability for a mental health condition — which equals an estimated 30% of veterans. These men and women who have returned home continue to battle mental health conditions that include depression, anxiety, PTSD, chronic adjustment disorder, and more. The veterans who battle these conditions day in and day out, may find that they are faced with roadblocks, red tape, and other obstacles in the disability claims process, and a veteran mental health disability attorney can help. VA Benefits Attorneys can help you face these challenges and overcome obstacles that prevent you from receiving the benefits you have earned with years of service.

How We Can Help
Legal Support and Services for Veteran Mental Health Claims
Do you battle depression or anxiety after years in the military? Does it have a negative impact on your day-to-day life? You may be eligible for disability compensation for your mental health condition, and VA Benefits Attorneys is here to help you navigate the claims process from start to finish and help you receive the financial compensation you deserve.
Establish Service Connection
The first step in the disability claims process is to establish a clear connection between your years of service and your mental health battles. The VA Benefits Attorneys legal team can walk you through the process and help you establish a clear connection with a medical diagnosis by a medical professional, an in-service event, and a medical nexus for your mental health conditions.
Collect Evidence and Documents
Your VA disability claim hinges on the documents and evidence you are able to provide that support your service connection. An experienced veterans benefits attorney can help ensure that you have the documents necessary to file a successful claim, receive a VA disability rating, and receive the financial compensation you have earned. VA Benefits Attorneys will help you collect and organize the proper documents, including a Nexus Letter, medical support documents, and additional lay evidence in support of your claim.
Appeal Denied Disability Claims
An estimated 36% of VA disability claims are denied for a variety of reasons that include missing documentation or a lack of a clear service connection — but a denied claim does not mean a veteran cannot receive disability compensation. VA Benefits Attorneys can help you appeal a denied claim via multiple channels — filing a Notice of Disagreement, requesting a Higher-Level Review, filing a Supplemental Claim, or representing you in front of a Board of Appeals.

What Is a Veteran Mental Health Condition?
Many veterans battle psychological and emotional mental health conditions when they return home from overseas, and it can take a major toll on their day-to-day lives. The stresses and traumas tied to military service can lead to Posttraumatic Stress Disorder, Traumatic Brain Injury, depression, anxiety, and Military Sexual Trauma (MST). These mental health conditions and more may make veterans eligible for disability compensation.
To receive disability compensation for a service-connected mental health condition, a veteran must meet specific requirements and be able to provide the correct evidence to support their claim. The veteran must first have a professional medical diagnosis of their mental health condition and be able to trace their symptoms to an event from their military service to establish a medical nexus. Potential symptoms of service-connected mental health conditions can include night terrors, flashbacks, severe mood swings, social and emotional withdrawal, and substance abuse. Veterans who submit a disability claim for a mental health condition can receive a rating of 0%, 10%, 30%, 50%, 70%, and 100%.
