Unfortunately, it is not uncommon for schizophrenia claims to be denied by VA. For rejected claims, the next step is to file an appeal to challenge VA’s decision.
Claims denied on or after February 19, 2019 would require veterans to follow the procedure outlined in the Appeals Modernization Act (AMA). This law allows denied applicants to file a direct notice of disagreement on VA Form 10182 to request review by the Board of Veterans’ Appeals (BVA).
