Injured Veterans, a Nationwide Law Firm, Now Assisting Veterans in Virginia Applying For or Appealing Their Disability Benefits
The process of filing a claim for benefits with the Department of Veterans Affairs can be frustrating and complex. Veterans in need of assistance with disability claims have a partner in Injured Veterans, a nationwide firm that exists to help our nation's heroes.
PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla., Sept. 9, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Disability compensation provided by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is a tax-free benefit. Virginia Veterans with disabilities that are the result of a disease, or disabilities that were incurred or aggravated during active military service are eligible for disability compensation. Veterans whose disabilities are considered related or secondary to circumstances of military service may be paid as well.

Injured Veterans has represented thousands of veterans at all levels of appeal, helping them be awarded the benefits they have earned and deserve. The firm's practice areas include veterans' disability and Social Security disability for veterans who suffer psychiatric and physical medical conditions related to their military service, including arthritis of the spine, hearing loss, knee problems, military sexual trauma (MST), post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), spine injury, toxic water exposure and agent orange conditions, and traumatic brain injury (TBI).
Benefit amounts are based on a graduated scale of 10-100 percent according to disability degree. An additional allowance is available to veterans with dependents who have a disability rating of 30 percent or higher. Compensation may be offset by retirement pay, disability severance pay or separation initiatives. The Injured Veterans staff works without fee until new or increased benefits are realized.
In addition to the benefits paid by the VA, each state offers additional benefits. In the commonwealth of Virginia, where more than 78,000 U.S. military veterans live, the Virginia Department of Veterans Services (DVS), headquartered in Richmond, provides a number of programs and services.
Among the primary programs and benefits available to Virginia veterans, spouses and their children:
- Real estate tax exemptions
- Housing opportunities
- Higher education
- Job training programs
