๐บ๐ธ FACTS vs. MYTHS: The VA Claims Process ๐บ๐ธ
At Patriot Disability Advocates, we hear a LOT of misinformation about the VA claims process. Let's set the record straight!
โ MYTH: "If I file a claim and get denied, it's over."
โ
FACT: A denial is NOT the end! You have the right to appeal, and many veterans WIN on appeal. Don't give up!
โ MYTH: "The VA will find all my records on their own."
โ
FACT: While the VA has a duty to assist, YOU are responsible for making sure your service records, medical records, and buddy statements are submitted. Don't assume โ follow up!
โ MYTH: "I have to be 100% disabled to get benefits."
โ
FACT: Veterans can receive compensation at many rating levels โ 10%, 30%, 70%, and more. Every rating matters and can mean real money in your pocket.
โ MYTH: "Filing a new claim will hurt my current rating."
โ
FACT: In most cases, filing for additional conditions will NOT lower your existing rating. You deserve compensation for ALL service-connected conditions.
โ MYTH: "I waited too long โ I can't file now."
โ
FACT: There is NO deadline to file a VA disability claim. It's never too late to fight for what you've earned!
