Who May Qualify for a VA Disability Case Review

What are the main criteria for a case review?

The firm generally considers requests that meet these points:

You have a VA decision (regional office or Board).

The decision is still within the relevant filing window (usually 1 year for continuous pursuit or 120 days after a Board denial).

You are not already represented by an attorney for this claim.

Your discharge is other than dishonorable, or a character-of-discharge review is pending.

You live in a state the firm serves (see the states page).

Compensation requires a current disability, an in-service event, and a nexus, plus a discharge other than dishonorable (38 U.S.C. §§ 1110, 1131).

Frequently asked questions

Can a spouse or child request a review?

Yes, if the request is about a veteran's claim or a dependent's claim and the other criteria are met. Select the correct claimant role on the form.

What if my discharge was less than honorable?

The firm looks at whether the character of discharge bars benefits or whether a review of the character of discharge is possible. A discharge other than dishonorable is generally required for compensation (38 U.S.C. §§ 1110, 1131).

Is there a minimum rating I need?

No minimum rating is required to request a review. The firm looks at whether the decision appears incorrect on service connection, rating, effective date, or other issues.

Can I request a review for TDIU or a secondary condition?

Yes. TDIU and secondary service connection are among the issues the firm reviews when a decision exists.
