2. 1. Be Patient
I have worked with hundreds of Veterans
through my work with the firm, and the ones
with a positive attitude have an easier time
with their claims. If you are out of work, have
bills piling up, and are suffering from a
disability, this may be tough to do. Remember
that you are not alone in your frustration with
this process.

2. Educate yourself
about the Process
Learning more about the process as a
whole will likely make you feel more at
ease about what’s going on. Most people
would not go into a complicated surgery,
or buy a house, without doing research
first on what to expect.

3. Find others Like
You
Why not discuss your VA Disability Claim with
the Veterans who served with you? Perhaps
your buddy has a resource that will benefit you,
or the name of a great treatment facility. For
Veterans suffering from PTSD, depression, or
any other type of mental disability, seeking help
from your peers can make a world of
difference. A lot of VA facilities offer group
counseling, and several of our clients claim it is
beneficial.

4. Seek Treatment
When it comes to your claim, seeking
treatment can lead to your it getting
approved. The VA needs to know that
your disability is affecting you now.
Seeking treatment will show that it is
bothering you. Not seeking treatment will
make them assume that you are fine
6. 5. Hire an Attorney
An attorney, like the ones working for Jan
Dils Attorneys at Law, will review all of your
paperwork, submit responses to the VA,
research your case, represent you at
hearings, and so much more. Disability is
stressful; why not let someone else handle
the bulk of that stress for you.
