It is emotionally painful to be denied veterans benefits, as anyone who has experienced this can attest. When a person’s entire means of support is riding on getting benefits for a disability incurred while in service to the United States government, a denial is devastating. It means more time spent re-doing the application and more time to go without a meaningful income. While the applicant waits for approval to come through, his or her personal circumstances can get increasingly dire. When a disability has occurred in the service of the federal government that prevents someone from being employed, it is absolutely critical that the application for benefits be approved right away.
Sadly, there are any number of reasons why an application for benefits may be denied. There may not be enough documented proof of a real disability. If there is proof, it might not be from the right physicians. An application could be denied simply because a line on the application was not filled out properly or a signature wasn’t included on the right page. Whatever the reason, the denial only serves to hurt the veteran.
