VA Disability

Swedlow Law assists veterans in filing initial claims for disability benefits and pursuing appeals to secure all of the benefits earned by U.S. military veterans. The VA process can be confusing and frustrating. Veterans do not have to fight for their benefits alone. Kate Swedlow is an accredited veterans benefits attorney through the Department of Veterans Affairs Office of General Counsel. Contact us today to add Swedlow Law to your team.

For veterans seeking a discharge upgrade, the process can be complex and overwhelming.  Each branch of service has its own regulations, and the complexities can lead service members to abandon the process all together.  If you need help with a discharge that is Other than Honorable, Uncharacterized, Bad Conduct Discharge, or Dishonorable Discharge, Swedlow Law can help.

Initial Claims

Assisting veterans in obtaining their disability benefits

The process of filing for disability with the VA can feel overwhelming.   Swedlow Law helps military veterans file for disability benefits by reviewing their initial claims at zero cost to the veteran.  No attorney should charge a veteran for assistance with their initial claims.  There are many other free resources available for veterans to file initial claims on their behalf, but Kate believes that any veteran who wants an attorney to review their claim before filing should have it.  Before you file that claim with the VA, give Kate a call.

Appeals

Filing an initial claim is the first step to securing your earned veterans’ benefits, but the VA does not always get it right the first time.  Should the VA deny your claim or not grant you the rating you deserve, Swedlow Law can assist in your appeal.

Taking advantage of all avenues of the Appeals Modernization Act, Swedlow Law works with veterans to determine the right path for their claim, whether it is a supplemental claim, higher level review, or direct appeal to the Board of Veterans Appeals.  As an accredited VA Benefits Attorney, Kate is well-versed in the administrative procedures and rating schedules applicable to veteran disability claims.  Her skills and experience as a litigator offer a distinct advantage to clients, and she will fight to ensure you receive all of the benefits you earned in service.
