Veterans' Application and Claims Process

Obtaining the VA Benefits You Deserve

Although it isn't supposed to be hard for former U.S. military personnel to obtain benefits from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), it often is.

And the process itself can take years to complete.

The law firm of Shifrin Newman Smith Inc. is dedicated to helping Ohio residents from all walks of life, including every branch of military service, to obtain disability-related benefits from the government. How can we help you? While we can't make the VA process your claim any faster — we can prepare you for what to expect every step of the way, and we can help make your claim as strong as possible.

Call 877-230-5500 or contact our attorneys online for a free consultation and more information on filing disability claims with the VA.

Don't Wait to Start the Application and Claims Process!

Because veterans' disability benefits start adding up on the date you file your claim, it is important to file an application as soon as possible. Waiting only reduces the benefits you will be awarded if you win your case later.

There is the basic form veterans use to file claims for themselves (VA Form 21-526). There is also a basic form family members of deceased veterans use to apply for survivors' benefits (VA Form 21-534). Other forms may be required as well, depending on the circumstances.

Our lawyers can evaluate your situation and help you complete the application process. If you have already been denied benefits — or have received too-low of a disability rating from the VA (service connected ) — we can effectively challenge those unfavorable decisions at every level of the appeals process.

Last, if the VA ruled against you in a previous case, we can reopen that old case if that decision was based on a clear and unmistakable error, or there is new and material evidence to offer in support of your claim.

If We Don't Win, You Don't Pay. It's Just That Simple.

Shifrin Newman Smith Inc. is proud to be able to help disabled veterans and military family members throughout the state of Ohio.

If we can't help you by recovering disability benefits, you don't have to pay a fee. There is absolutely no risk. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain. To schedule a free consultation, call 877-230-5500 or contact us online.
