Veterans Disability: Lawyers, Information, Questions & Answers.

This site is for those looking for information or lawyers for help with their veterans disability claims. I will try to answer many of the questions I know veterans are looking for about their claims for VA benefits.

A new law goes into affect on June 20, 2007 that will allow veterans to hire attorneys much earlier in the process. I will explain this new law and how it can benefit those looking to receive the disability benefits they deserve from the Department of Veteran Affairs. I am Karl Kazmierczak, Esq. and I have been helping people get disability benefits for years. For years veterans have had a difficult time finding help with their VA disability claims because of a bar on hiring lawyers early in the process. I will be providing information on this site for free and believe it should answer many of the questions many of you have. If you would like help with your claim for disability benefits please consider us and see my law firm website at Veteran Disability Lawyers.

If you have any questions or if you want a free consultation send me an e-mail. Please be as detailed as you can and if you would like me to call send your phone number.

What is definition of a veteran for VA disability? "A person who served in the active military, naval or air services, and who was discharged or released under conditions other than dishonorable." 38 U.S.C. $ 101(2), 38 CFR $ 3.1(d) 2006.

This site will address the basics of veterans disability claims first and as time goes on I will add more advanced concepts that I think would be helpful. So make sure to book mark this site and come back often. The first thing you should know is that these claims can take a very long time sometimes taking years to get the results you are trying to achieve. I get e-mails from many veterans completely frustrated with the process. The best thing you can do is become as knowledgeable as you can and seek assistance with your claim if you feel you need to.

I will soon be adding more content to this website so make sure to check back over the next few weeks. I am attending a conference on veterans disability this month and will report back anything I think may be of interest to you.
