veterans disability law firm Disability Law Explained
Many veterans who have disabilities struggle to navigate VA rules and bureaucracy while filing a claim or appeal. An attorney can provide much-needed clarity to the process and minimize the risk of making mistakes.
Title I of the ADA prohibits employers from discriminating against qualified disabled individuals in hiring, promotion, job assignments, training, benefits and other conditions of employment, notwithstanding unjust hardship.
What is a disability?
The law defines disability as a major limitation to a major everyday activity. It could be physical or mental, and it could be temporary or even permanent. Disability can be apparent, such as a missing limb, or obscure, such as depression or chronic pain.
Veterans who are disabled are entitled to certain benefits, including the monthly payment of monetary compensation. The amount of compensation is determined by the VA's percentage rating of the veteran's disability. The ADA prohibits discrimination based on disability and requires employers to make reasonable accommodations for people with disabilities. Generally speaking, employers cannot inquire from an applicant if they have a disability, unless the information is requested on a voluntary basis, for affirmative action reasons.
What is a disability service-connected?
A service-connected disability is a medical condition, injury or illness that was aggravated or caused through your military service. It is essential to prove your condition is service connected to be eligible for monetary compensation.
Your condition must also be related to your service in order to qualify for benefits such as the Aid and Attendance Program. These programs offer financial aid to veterans who need help with daily activities such as dressing, bathing and eating.
It is also possible to establish a service connection through presumptive service connections for some conditions such as Agent Orange exposure and Gulf War illnesses. This requires a medical opinion showing that your current health condition is likely to be due to the exposure even if it was not the case that you didn't have the disease when you left the military.
What is a non-service-connected disability?
Many veterans do not realize that there are disability benefits available if none of their ailments are connected to their military service. These are referred to as non-service connected pension or veteran's pension, and are based on income and assets. Widows and widowers of disabled veterans are qualified to receive pensions dependent on the disability of their spouse.
Employers cannot discriminate against applicants and employees who are disabled. It is illegal to exclude a person from consideration for employment because of the disability. Employers are required to provide reasonable accommodations for those who have disabilities to ensure they can complete the essential duties of a job. These are sometimes known as "reasonable modifications." The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and VA regulations require that these be provided.
How do I know whether I'm disabled?
The law provides you with compensation if you have a service-related disability. It is a physical or psychological condition that is directly related to your military service, and is assessed at 10 percent or more.
A veteran's disability lawyer who is familiar with the intricacies can make the process more straightforward. They can help you determine if you have a valid claim and assist you through the appeals process.
Current law prohibits lawyers from charging for assistance in a disability claim, but they may charge a fee if they help you challenge the outcome of your claim. This is how we can help our clients receive all the benefits they are entitled to. Contact Fusco, Brandenstein & Rada to learn more.
