We Fight for the Men and Women Who Fight for Us
Veteran PTSD Disability Attorneys
Veterans who have returned home from combat may find that not all scars are visible. Many veterans who have experienced traumatic, life-threatening events in Iraq, Afghanistan, or other military theaters around the globe have returned home and had to continue to battle Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), and many of those veterans are eligible for disability compensation via the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). For the veterans who are eligible for disability due to PTSD, it can be a challenge to get the benefits they deserve — and the legal team at VA Benefits Attorneys — is ready to serve as your veteran PTSD disability attorney.

How We Can Help
Legal Support and Services for Veteran PTSD Claims
Are you a veteran who battles service-connected PTSD? Are you fighting to get disability compensation from the Department of Veterans Affairs? VA Benefits Attorneys provides legal support and services for veteran PTSD claims to help you receive the compensation that you deserve after years of serving your country.
Establish Service Connection
The key to any VA disability claim is the ability to establish a connection between the veteran’s injury, illness, or medical condition to their military service, and an experienced veteran disability attorney can help you establish that connection. For veterans with PTSD or other mental health conditions, a veteran disability attorney can help establish a nexus with careful documentation.
Collect Evidence and Documents
When veterans file a disability claim with the Department of Veterans Affairs, the evidence and documents included in the claim will help establish a connection to military service and an experienced attorney will help you collect the evidence that you need to establish that connection and receive your benefits. Veteran disability attorneys can help veterans collect the medical documents they need, connect veterans with medical professionals who can provide a Nexus Letter, can create a foundation of lay evidence to support a claim, and can file for Total Disability Individual Unemployability in severe cases of PTSD.
Appeal Denied Disability Claims
Veteran disability claims can be denied for a variety of reasons — but that does not mean that veterans do not have legal recourse. A veteran disability attorney can help veterans appeal denied disability claims by filing a Notice of Disagreement, requesting a Higher-Level Review, or by representing the veteran in front of a Board of Veteran’s Appeals and a Veteran Law Judge.
Are You Eligible for a PTSD Disability Claim?
What Is PTSD?
Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a mental health disorder that stems from a traumatic event — like those experienced by many military combat veterans. PTSD can be experienced in a variety of ways with symptom clusters that include reliving the traumatic event with flashbacks or nightmares, veterans avoiding personal interactions with people, places, or situations, a consistent negative emotional state, or hyperawareness that can result in difficulty sleeping. Posttraumatic Stress Disorder is typically diagnosed after symptoms persist for an extended period of time and impact daily life.
To receive disability compensation for Posttraumatic Stress Disorder, veterans must meet specific criteria to establish a service connection. The veterans must have a formal diagnosis of PTSD from a medical professional, there must be medical evidence and documentation of a traumatic stressor that occurred during their military service, and there must be an established medical nexus that indicates the PTSD was “at least as likely as not” caused by specific service-connected traumatic events. Disability ratings and compensation are based primarily on the level of functional impairment that veterans experience in their day-to-day life rather than specific symptoms.
