Veteran Traumatic Brain Injury Disability Attorneys

More than 2.5 million veteran disability claims are processed by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs each year — an estimated 185,000 to 200,000 veterans have filed claims for Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) — and that number continues to grow. Whether in training or combat, concussions and brain injuries are not uncommon in the military, and an estimated 7.1% of veterans have a service-connected disability rating for TBI. Traumatic Brain Injuries caninclude mild symptoms that have the occasional impact on daily life or more severe symptoms that contribute to complete social and occupational impairment. Veterans who have been diagnosed with a service-connected TBI may be faced with a wealth of challenges, and an experienced veteran Traumatic Brain Injury disability attorney will help you file a successful claim — and the VA Benefits Attorneys legal team is here to serve those who have served us.

    How We Can Help

    Legal Support and Services for Veteran TBI Claims

    Did you suffer a head injury or severe concussion while serving in the military? Do you combat headaches, dizziness, balance issues, or fatigue in your day-to-day life? Do you experience memory loss or have difficulty concentrating? These may be signs of a Traumatic Brain Injury, and VA Benefits Attorneys is here to help you establish a service connection for your claim, collect evidence, file your claim, and appeal a denied claim.

    Establish Service Connection

    The most critical element of a VA disability claim is to establish a clear connection between a Traumatic Brain Injury and its related symptoms and your military service. When you file a disability claim, it is important to build a strong foundation of medical documents and evidence to establish a nexus for your injury, and a VA benefits attorney can help you collect the evidence that you need to file a successful claim.

    Collect Evidence and Documents 

    The medical documents included in your disability claim serve as the foundation of your case and this is where VA Benefits Attorneys can help the most. Years of experience and extensive legal knowledge will help us guide you through the claims process and file a successful claim, complete with medical support documents from medical professionals, lay evidence provided by friends and family, and a Nexus Letter. When needed, a disability attorney can connect veterans with medical professionals that can provide additional evidence for a claim.

    Appeal Denied Disability Claims

    VA disability claims can be denied for a variety of reasons — including a lack of medical documentation or a lack of a service connection — but that does not mean that veterans are without options. A veteran can appeal a denied claim with the help of an experienced veteran disability attorney that will help you determine the right way to appeal your claim — by filing a Notice of Disagreement, requesting a Higher-Level Review, filing a Supplemental Claim, or representing your in front of a Board of Appeals. 

    Are You Eligible for a Traumatic Brain Injury Disability Claim?

    What Is a Traumatic Brain Injury?

    A Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) is a form of brain damage that is created by sudden external force. The most common causes of TBI among military veterans include blast injuries from IEDs or other explosions, motor vehicle accidents, falls, training injuries, and combat-related violence — and an estimated 20% of post-9/11 veterans have experienced a TBI. The most common symptoms of a TBI can be divided into four basic categories — physical, cognitive, behavioral, and sleep — that can include headaches, dizziness, vertigo, nausea, blurred vision, fatigue, a foggy feeling, memory loss, anxiety, depression, difficulty sleeping, and more. 

    To receive disability compensation for a Traumatic Brain Injury, veterans must meet specific criteria and be able to prove that the injury was sustained while serving in the military, with documentation to support your claim. When the Department of Veterans Affairs rates TBIs, it can be rated at 0%, 10%, 40%, 70%, or 100%,with symptoms that can range from minimal to complete impairment. TBI disability ratings will be based on the severity of symptoms and how those symptoms impact the veteran’s daily life. Traumatic Brain Injuries are given their own disability rating, while select symptoms — like headaches, PTSD, anxiety, depression, and tinnitus — can receive their own separate rating.

    FAQ’s

    Frequently Asked Questions About Veteran TBI Disability Claims

    The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs assigns veterans with a disability rating for service-connected TBIs based on multiple factors that determine the financial compensation for the disability. Traumatic Brain Injuries can be rated at 0%, 10%, 40%, 70%, or 100%.

    Veteran disability ratings for TBIs are based on the severity of long-term symptoms across multiple areas and how much symptoms impair work or daily life. Key symptoms of a TBI include headaches, dizziness, behavioral changes, social interactions, loss of memory, depression, and much more. 

    There is an overlap of symptoms between a TBI and mental health conditions like PTSD, anxiety, or depression. When the symptoms overlap, the Department of Veterans Affairs may combine them into a single rating — but if a medical professional can define which symptoms are caused by the TBI, the veteran may be able to receive separate ratings.

    A Traumatic Brain Injury can lead to long-term symptoms and secondary conditions. These select symptoms may be eligible for a secondary claim that will increase the veteran’s compensation. Common secondary conditions for TBIs include migraines, sleep apnea, insomnia, depression, and anxiety.
