If any agency should know the statistics, the DVA should and they, according t their own data state that VA disability appeal lawyers can improve the claimants chances of winning the appeal.
Of course, no two situations are the same; some cases are better served with professional help than others. There are many ways in which an experienced lawyer can help.
Knowledge of the law and the DVS rules and regulations:
The when it subjects claims to their review DVA works within a complex legal framework it must do so within the law. The error rate is high, this seems to indicate that even those empowered with the “yes – no” decisions have trouble trying to understand and apply the law. The DVA admit to an error rate approaching 15 percent while an independent study disagrees, citing an error rate closer to 38 percent.
Experienced VA disability appeal lawyers know the laws and regulations. To practice VA disability law, lawyers must be accredited by the agency, to maintain their accreditation; lawyers must take continuing classes to ensure they are up to date with the ever changing rules and laws.
Build a winning case:
Lawyers are very skilled at taking the evidence available to them and building a strong case with it. If the original claim was denied due to a lack of supporting evidence, a skilled disability lawyer can help prove that your disability is genuinely service related.
VA disability appeal lawyers are very good at tracking down records, if, on the other hand the appropriate records simply cannot be located, lawyers can demonstrate facts in other ways. Lawyers can solicit opinions from medical experts that can support your contention. Understand however that even the best VA disability appeal lawyers cannot guarantee success, what they can do is present your claim in such a way that it will be very difficult for the VA to deny benefits.
