VA Disability Rating Increase

Help With Denied VA Disability Claims

Getting a denial letter from the VA can feel like a gut punch, especially after years of service and months spent waiting for an answer and some financial assistance to make life easier. But a denial isn’t the end of the road and is an opportunity to strengthen claims and even receive additional compensation not expected in the original filing. Many Veterans are denied simply because their evidence suggesting a service-connection was incomplete or their condition wasn’t properly documented during service. At United Veteran Benefits Agency (UVBA), we help turn those setbacks into second chances. Our team guides you through the VA disability appeals process, guiding you on how to present the strongest claim with proper documentation and evidence, buddy statements, and supporting evidence. While appeals can take time, successful claims often result in back pay. With an average 90% success rate, UVBA helps Veterans secure fair compensation and ensure their benefits truly reflect the challenges they live with every day.

Why Disability Claims Are Denied by the VA
Lack of Clear Medical Documentation

The process can be complicated, and any first-time disability claim or request to increase disability ratings can be quickly denied by the VA for a lack of medical documentation.

No Service Connection

Creating a strong evidence-backed claim that links Veterans' disabilities to their time in the military is called the “service-connection” and is essential to filing a successful claim. 

Incomplete Application or Paperwork

Missing paperwork, incorrect answers, or other omissions are an easy way for the VA to deny your disability claim and cause considerable delays in the process. 

Condition Lacks Severity

While even a 10% disability can qualify for disability benefits, applications and appeal requests must include sufficient evidence that the disability is impacting daily life. 

How Can UVBA Help?

Overcoming Pain & Frustration of Denied VA Claims

Being denied for VA disability benefits can feel deeply discouraging, almost as though the system you fought to protect forgot what you sacrificed. At United Veteran Benefits Agency, we understand the frustration, anger, and financial uncertainty that follow a claim denial. Thankfully, Veterans no longer have to face that process alone. Our team walks beside you every step of the way, from reviewing medical records and offering guidance on how to procure supportive buddy statements to organizing evidence that paints a complete picture of how your service-connected conditions impact your life. If your initial claim or rating increase was denied, UVBA helps rebuild your case from the ground up, identifying missing details and strengthening your appeal with new medical and testimonial support. With compassion, persistence, and proven experience, we help Veterans overcome setbacks and finally receive the recognition and compensation they’ve earned through their service.

Building A Stronger Claim

Strengthening VA Claims for Additional Compensation & Benefits

The best way to avoid a denial is to build a strong claim from the start; however, this can be a considerable challenge without additional help from United Veteran Benefits Agency. Veterans should gather thorough medical records from before, during, and after their time in the service and credible buddy statements that clearly demonstrate how their condition connects to their time in service and how symptoms are impacting daily life. Providing detailed information about how the injury or illness impacts daily life is equally important, as it helps the VA assign a rating that truly reflects the severity of the condition. With careful preparation and expert guidance, Veterans can reduce the risk of delays or denials and secure the benefits they’ve earned for themselves and their dependents.

Frequently Asked Questions About Denied VA Claims
Can I appeal if the VA denies my disability claim?

Yes. Veterans can appeal a denied claim through a supplemental claim, request a higher-level review, or take their case before the Board of Veterans’ Appeals. UVBA can assist with preparing the necessary paperwork to start the appeal and ensure your submission is accurate and well-supported. While we don’t manage the full appeals process, we help you begin with confidence and clarity.

My claim was denied for a lack of medical evidence. What happens now?

This is one of the most common reasons for denial, but it is not the end of the road. UVBA helps veterans identify gaps in their claims and discuss how to gather necessary medical evidence and buddy statements that support strong applications from service members, friends, or family who can confirm when your symptoms began and how they affect your life.

Does a denied claim mean that I cannot try again?

Not at all. You can reapply with stronger evidence. UVBA reviews your original claim to identify why it was denied, then helps rebuild it with clearer documentation and additional support to improve your chances of approval.

How will working with UVBA increase the chances of approval?

With a 90% client success rate, UVBA has helped thousands of Veterans secure fair outcomes. Our clients see an average 30% increase in ratings and $1,100 in added monthly compensation. Most importantly, you’ll have an experienced, compassionate team in your corner from start to finish.
