Filing a VA disability claim requires understanding the process from beginning to end and preparing all necessary evidence before submission.
• Call 1-800-827-1000 to establish an intent to file, which gives you one year to prepare your claim while preserving your effective date
• Collect medical evidence from both VA and private healthcare providers to support your claim
• Submit all conditions on the same initial 526-EZ form to maintain your original effective date
• Consider working with an accredited Veterans Service Officer who has VBMS access rather than filing alone
• When denied, explore all three appeal options: Higher-Level Review, Supplemental Claim, or Board of Veterans Appeals
• Consider independent medical opinions (IMOs) to strengthen your case in the appeals process
• Be persistent — many successful claims face initial denials but succeed through proper appeals
• Watch for symptoms of depression after receiving benefits as you adjust to your new normal
• Utilize online resources like ”VA the Redneck Way” and ”How Disability Works” to educate yourself
