In most scenarios, you should appeal your denied claim. The reality is that many valid claims often get denied, so don’t be discouraged if your claim is rejected. Appealing your claim allows you to receive benefits even if your application is denied.
The VA has specific appeal deadlines, so it’s crucial that you follow their regulations. If you miss a deadline, for example, your appeal will be denied. A VA disability lawyer can help you navigate the appeals process, which can increase your chances of being approved. Don’t give up on your claim. You deserve compensation for your disabilities.
