Coasties guard America’s shores and seas through courage, skill, and sacrifice. Their service often means braving storms, responding to maritime accidents, and facing hazardous exposures during high-stakes rescue operations. Years of duty can lead to lasting injuries, hearing loss, PTSD, or chronic pain from physically demanding missions. Unfortunately, missing or incomplete medical records make VA compensation for Coast Guard Veterans especially difficult to secure. At United Veteran Benefits Agency (UVBA), we help simplify the process so Coast Guard service members don’t have to face it alone. With a 90% success rate and an average 30% increase in disability ratings for Coast Guard retirees, our team helps identify qualifying conditions, gather the right documentation, and file strong claims and appeals for the benefits and recognition every Coast Guard Veteran has earned.

Whether it's carrying heavy loads, repetitive movements, or uncomfortable positions, back, knee, and joint pain rarely get better as life goes on and are valid disabling conditions.
Loud engine noise, heavy equipment, and even strong winds are capable of causing hearing damage and tinnitus for Coast Guard Veterans seeking disability benefits.
High-stakes missions and challenging emergency responses can create long-lasting mental health conditions like anxiety disorders, PTSD, and insomnia that all qualify for compensation.
Exposure to any fuels, solvents, chemicals, and other irritants may lead to skin or respiratory conditions that impact daily life and worsen over time.
Our team is ready to help disabled retirees from the Coast Guard file for first-time VA benefits or appeals to receive additional compensation, increase disability ratings based on new injuries, and overcome the challenge of receiving a denial from the VA. UVBA works closely with Coast Guard retirees to simplify the disability claim application process, from start to finish, and ensures that all injuries or illnesses, no matter their severity, are thoroughly documented in the claim. Our team understands the necessary support information needed to receive maximum financial assistance for Coastie Veterans and their dependents. This includes collecting buddy statements in place of missing or incomplete medical documentation and ensuring that all injuries and illnesses have strong supporting information to expedite the approval process. For Coast Guard Veterans, UVBA has the knowledge and experience to file successful claims and obtain the benefits earned through years of service.
Receive Maximum Disability Benefits
At United Veteran Benefits Agency, we help all Coast Guard Veterans in filing for disability benefits for the first time or a retiree seeking to increase their VA disability rating for worsening conditions. Each claim application we review and assist with will receive detailed and thorough documentation, as even small mistakes or omissions can delay compensation for months and make post-service life even more of a challenge. UVBA team members are willing to join the fight and help Coast Guard vets avoid mistakes when filing and provide hands-on instructions to gather information, including buddy statements and other medical documentation to support VA compensation claims. Additionally, if you’ve already received a rating from the VA that doesn’t reflect the severity of your condition, or your disability has become more serious the longer you’ve been retired, our team can assist with the appeals process to help you secure the benefits you deserve.
