According to the Department of Veterans Affairs, there are 23.4 million living veterans and 37 million dependants of living veterans and survivors of deceased veterans. This accounts for about 20 percent of the U.S. population. The number of people who are affected when a veterans benefits claim is reduced, denied, or ignored is tremendous. At Hughes & Coleman, we want to help as many people as we can in their time of need.
Our country’s fighting men and women suffer from a wide range of physical and mental health problems, from back pain to post-traumatic stress disorder. Traumatic brain injuries, severe burns, spinal cord injuries, exposure to toxic chemicals, and severe lacerations are but a few of the many conditions veterans suffer.
Other health problems can include:
Unfortunately, thousands of veterans’ claims are filed every year, and the government often rejects or denies these claims, even when the family needs and deserves those benefits.
Veterans disability benefits are different from Social Security Disability Insurance claims. This can be complicated to do alone. Having a Kentucky and Tennessee veterans disability lawyer from our firm on your side may help you get the money you need—the money you deserve—for your injuries.
Remember that you may be eligible for veterans benefits even if you are receiving Social Security or if you are still working.
The system is complicated and the process, paperwork, and waiting time involved in filing a veterans compensation claim can be frustrating. It is important to us that injured veterans and their families get the money they need. Call us today or fill out a Free Online Consultation Form. We want to help.
