Who Is Eligible for VA Disability Benefits in Louisiana?
Millions of veterans have served our country and many have service-connected injuries, illnesses or medical conditions – and many do not know if they are eligible for VA disability benefits. Let us help answer your questions with this quick overview of the guidelines that need to be met to qualify for disability benefits and compensation via the Department of Veterans Affairs.
To be eligible for disability, a veteran must meet TWO standard criteria – they must have a service-connected injury, illness or medical condition that affects the mind or body AND they must have served on active duty, active duty for training or inactive duty for training in the U.S. Military.
Veterans who are eligible for VA disability benefits must also meet ONE of the criteria that we have listed below.
- Veteran has an In-Service Disability Claim. A service-related injury, illness or medical condition that was suffered and diagnosed while enlisted in the military.
- Veteran has a Pre-Service Disability Claim. An injury, illness or medical condition that the veteran had prior to military service that was made worse by their time in service.
- Veteran has a Post-Service Disability Claim. A service-related injury, illness or medical condition that was discovered after the completion of military service.

What Do I Do If My VA Disability Claim is Denied?
Did you know that each year the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs denies about 30% of veteran disability claims? Disability claims can be denied for a variety of reasons that include incomplete paperwork and a lack of medical support documents. We understand that this can be frustrating, but we can help you appeal a denied claim at VA Benefits Attorneys. The appeal process provides veterans with three options – file a Supplemental Claim, request a Higher-Level Review or submit a Board Appeal.
