New Law On Hiring Lawyers For Veterans
Disability Claims
A new law has been passed that allows veterans to hire lawyers for disability claims much earlier in the process.
I will explain this new law and what it means to veterans looking for an attorneys help with their veterans disability
claim before the Department of Veteran Affairs.

For many years veterans have been frustrated by the difficulty of finding a lawyer to help them with their veterans disability
claims for pension and compensation. However, this new law should now make it much easier to find lawyers since the
new law lifts the ban on hiring attorneys early in the process. It should be noted that there are some groups still
trying to get this law changed back. Hopefully these groups will be unsuccessful and i will keep my eye on the
situation and report anything I learn.
The way it stands now is if a notice of disagreement is submitted
before June 20, 2007 then you can hire an attorney after the first final decision by the BVA or Board of Veterans
Appeals, if you hire them within one year. If notice of disagreement is submitted after June 20, 2007 you can hire a lawyer
after the filing of that notice of disagreement. You can also hire a lawyer if you have a case in federal court.
