Maine Veterans Benefits Attorneys – ME Disability Lawyers

Maine veterans who have sustained a service-related disability and who have been discharged honorably may be eligible to file a claim for veteran disability compensation.  Veteran disability benefits are paid to those veterans who have suffered from injuries or illnesses that either occurred during active military service or were worsened by active military service.

The types of injuries and illnesses that meet the military’s definition of “disability” have changed over the years.  Certain injuries are obviously disabling, such as loss of limbs or mobility.  Others, such as Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) may not be as visible, but can be just as disabling to the suffering veteran.  Sexual or personal trauma may also contribute to a disability.

The United States Department of Veteran Affairs assigns a percentage to each disability – meaning, for instance, that one veteran may be considered 10% disabled while another whose injuries are worse may be considered 80% disabled.  As long as the veteran is at least 10% disabled as a result of his or her service, the VA may pay benefits.

Disability benefits vary according to the type of disability and whether or not the veteran also has a family to support.  Veterans who meet one of the three following criteria may receive additional amounts:

• The veteran suffers from severe disabilities or loss of limb(s)
• The veteran has a spouse, children, or dependent parents
• The veteran’s spouse is also severely disabled

Veterans whose claims for disability benefits are denied may need legal help.  An attorney knowledgeable in Maine veterans’ disability claims can offer representation and recommendations for improving the success of a claim.
