Types of Benefits American Veterans Can Receive

VA Disability Compensation

United States Veterans with service-connected disabilities are eligible for disability compensation through the Veterans Administration (VA). This includes both primary and secondary injuries and illnesses. 

Dependency and Indemnity Compensation

Dependency and Indemnity Compensation can benefit veterans and their families. If a veteran is killed in active duty or inactive duty training, a surviving spouse, children, and/or parents may receive benefits from the department of veteran affairs.

Special Monthly Compensation

Retired and inactive veterans who sustained injuries that disable them from returning to civilian work may be eligible to receive Special Monthly Compensation. This helps veterans obtain work that takes their disability into account, or compensates veterans financially if it is determined they can no longer work as they did prior to their military service. 

Claims Based on Special Circumstances

Disabled veterans may be eligible for specific health care services such as dental or doctors' care, hospitalization coverage, clothing allowance, and other necessary services or goods.

FAQs

How long do I have to apply for VA Benefits?

There is no statute of limitations on VA benefits. Whether you’re a Vietnam or Gulf War veteran or recently returned from a tour of duty in Afghanistan, you may apply for and receive VA benefits for any service-connected injury, disease, or disability. 

If you’ve applied and been denied, you need to meet a few appeal deadlines. Otherwise, you’ll have to start the process over again. Our team will ensure you don’t miss any important filing deadlines that could further delay your claim. 

I don't live in the Triad Shouldn't I hire a local attorney instead?

No matter where you live in North Carolina, your Veterans’ Disability claim will be processed through the regional Veterans Administration office in Winston-Salem. If your case goes to a hearing, it will most likely be heard in Winston-Salem. 

By working with the Deuterman Law Group, you will be working with a local, experienced, VA disability attorney. 

Can I Get Benefits for PTSD?

Absolutely! Thanks to increased awareness, veterans suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder are finally getting access to the medical treatment and benefits they are entitled to. 

The Deuterman law firm has helped many clients living with PTSD secure benefits. These cases are becoming an increasing part of our practice, and the VA is taking a more active role in identifying and addressing PTSD. 

However, that doesn’t mean that it’s easy to have a PTSD disability claim approved, especially if you don’t have an attorney representing you. The VA has very particular rules about these types of claims. 

Every VA disability case is different, and this is especially true with PTSD cases. 

We understand the depth of the impact PTSD can have on a veteran’s life and relationships. We understand PTSD is a very personal and private matter. We do everything we can to protect veterans' privacy and dignity while making the case for disability benefits. 

What if I can't afford an attorney?

We work on a contingency basis. 

That means we don’t collect a fee unless we win your case. While most people are used to attorneys charging at least a third for the work they do in a case, in VA Disability benefits cases, the fee is only 20 percent of past-due benefits. And the VA reviews our fee before we can collect it, approving it based on the work performed in the case. 

What Our Clients Have to Say

My husband had been filing on his own to get VA benefits for years; I mean like 20 plus years. Other members of his local American Legion kept encouraging to keep filing with the help of his local VA rep. It continued to be a dead-end road, he kept getting denied. Finally, he saw the commercial about Deuterman Law on TV and decided to call them. I must say, one of the BEST decisions he had ever made. We quickly got an appointment and we were on our way to receiving all the benefits we both enjoy now. Deuterman helped him to get 100% VA Disability. They were able to get him back pay and now a monthly check from VA. I can't say enough great things about this law group. We will always be grateful for all of their hard work!! We HIGHLY recommend them to others! 

– Penny R.

I engaged Deuterman Law Group for my VA disability compensation appeals after being turned down by several other firms and it was a life-changing decision. My legal team was knowledgeable, compassionate, and professional, and took what was a seemingly impossible case and secured a more favorable outcome than I thought was possible. They've also done the same for other veterans l've referred. Deuterman Law Group knows VA law inside and out and if anyone can help with your claim, it's these folks.
