Many veterans will receive VA disability denials on their initial application. According to the VA, “in the past four years alone, VA has added more than 940,000 Veterans to the VA compensation rolls, more than the active-duty Army and Navy combined.” Of those veterans, many had to appeal. You are not alone. If you are denied VA disability benefits, make sure you pay close attention to all the Veterans Administration's deadlines and complete all the paperwork. There are thousands of federal regulations that govern VA disability law and it's easy to get confused.
