For those who were not happy that they didn’t get the veterans benefits they believed they deserved or were perhaps denied altogether, the Department of Veterans Affairs has the Board of Veterans’ Appeals located in Washington, D.C. This board looks to review benefit claims decisions made by local VA offices and issue decisions on these appeals.
Those who are looking to obtain veterans benefits are often frustrated by the Department of Veterans Affairs’ rating system that may end up taking away some benefits after previously granting an award. This can turn into a situation where benefits are granted in one area but taken away in another.
One of the most devastating illnesses a young child can get is Duchenne muscular dystrophy, a form of muscular dystrophy that quickly gets worse. The U.S. National Library of Medicine said this is caused by a defective gene but often occurs without a known family history of the condition. Since those affected by this experience social security disability qualifying conditions, parents should look to file for benefits with the Social Security Administration to help cover medical bills and other costs.
