While a VA disability denial can feel defeating, it’s important that you do not give up. Following an initial denial, you can file a Notice of Disagreement, informing the VA that you do not agree with the denial and that you intend to appeal. If your Notice of Disagreement, Higher Level Review, or Supplemental Claim are not successful in getting your denial reversed, you can appeal to the Board of Veterans’ Appeals and have a Veterans Law Judge review your case.
