FAQs About New Hampshire VA Disability Benefits
Are you a New Hampshire veteran with a service-related disability? What questions do you have about your disability benefits? You may not know if your injury, illness, or medical condition qualifies you for disability benefits. You may not know how to apply for benefits or how to appeal a denied disability claim. VA Benefits Attorneys is here to help answer all of your questions about veterans disability benefits.
Who Is Eligible for VA Disability Benefits in New Hampshire?
The first question that most veterans ask when they contact us at VA Benefits Attorneys is – am I eligible for disability benefits? We may be able to help answer that question with a quick breakdown of the criteria veterans must meet to be eligible for VA disability benefits.
To be eligible for disability compensation, New Hampshire veterans must meet TWO initial criteria. They must have a current 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.
In addition to the basic initial criteria, veterans must have a service-connected injury, illness, or medical condition that falls into one of the three categories listed below:
- In-Service Disability Claim – The veteran became sick or injured while in the military and can link their condition to their military service.
- Pre-Service Disability Claim – The veteran had an injury or medical condition prior to military service that was worsened by their time in the military.
- Post-Service Disability Claim – The veteran was diagnosed with an injury, illness, or medical condition after their military service that can be linked to their time in the military.
Are There Additional VA Benefits for Veterans?
Most veterans who have served in the U.S. Military have a basic understanding of VA disability benefits – but not all veterans understand the wealth of benefits available to veterans via the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs – and fewer take advantage of those benefits. Veterans who want to purchase a home can apply for a VA Home Loan with affordable rates – a benefit used by just 6% of veterans. Veterans who want to continue their education may be eligible for tuition assistance via the G.I. Bill. Veterans in need of healthcare can get the help they need at VA medical facilities and available veteran insurance options will help keep medical costs low.

Veterans who have served in these theaters and countless more may bear injuries, illnesses, and medical conditions that are both seen and unseen – and many veterans want to know if their injuries qualify for disability.

How Do You Appeal a Denied VA Disability Claim?
Have you already applied for disability benefits and been denied? Do not be discouraged. The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs denies an estimated 30% of disability claims each year for many reasons that include an incomplete application or insufficient medical documents. Veterans who have had their application for VA disability benefits denied can enlist VA Benefits Attorneys to help you appeal the decision. There are three primary methods of appeal – file a Supplemental Claim, submit a Higher-Level Review, or request a Board Appeal.

What Are the New Hampshire State Veterans Benefits?
Live Free or Die is the state motto for New Hampshire – an expression with very real meaning to veterans who have worn the uniform. With a history rooted in freedom, it stands to reason that New Hampshire would hold its veterans in high regard. The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs provides an excellent framework of support for veterans – but those benefits are not the only veterans available to veterans who call New Hampshire home.
New Hampshire provides its sons and daughters who have served with additional support and the New Hampshire Department of Military Affairs and Veterans Services leads the charge. The benefits available to veterans who are residents of New Hampshire include tax exemptions, financial assistance, opportunities for continued education, veterans homes, and much more.
