VA Disability

Whether you need help filing an initial VA claim, seeking an increased rating, or appealing a denied claim, Tate Law offers clear guidance and committed representation at every stage.

For all VA disability matters, you pay nothing unless past-due benefits are recovered.
What We Offer
Initial VA Claims
Filing an initial VA disability claim is the first step toward obtaining the benefits you earned through your service. A successful claim requires more than simply submitting a form—it must clearly show that your condition is connected to your military service and supported by the appropriate medical and service records.
Tate Law assists veterans in preparing and filing initial claims that are complete and properly supported. By identifying the right evidence and addressing the VA’s requirements from the outset, we work to reduce delays and improve the likelihood of a favorable decision.
Seeking An Increase
If your service-connected condition has worsened, you may be entitled to a higher VA disability rating. Veterans can request an increased rating when their symptoms have become more severe or when their condition now causes greater impairment in daily life or employment.
Tate Law assists veterans in pursuing increased ratings by reviewing medical records, identifying the correct rating criteria, and gathering the evidence needed to support a higher evaluation. Careful preparation can make the difference between a continued denial and a properly rated claim.
VA Claim Appeals
If the VA denies your claim or assigns a rating that does not reflect the severity of your condition, you have the right to appeal. Many veterans receive incorrect decisions due to missing evidence, misunderstandings of the law, or errors in applying the VA’s rating criteria.
Tate Law represents veterans throughout the VA appeals process, including Higher-Level Review, Supplemental Claims, and appeals to the Board of Veterans’ Appeals. We review the record, identify errors in the VA’s decision, and develop the evidence needed to pursue the benefits you are entitled to receive.
