Podcast #151: Did the VA Make a Mistake with Your Disability Rating?

VA Claims Insider Podcast

With so much riding on a VA claim, it should be handled with meticulous accuracy…at least in a perfect world. But the reality is that the VA is run by humans just like you and me, and a mistake is more common than we realize. After all, they are dealing with a backlog of more than 212,000 VA claims (as of April 29, 2023). With that kind of volume handled by review teams that are often short-staffed, there’s plenty of room for human error.

We frequently see clerical errors (such as getting a date wrong) that diminish a veteran’s benefits. In other cases, the VA may fail to consider all of a veteran’s evidence or fail to apply VA policies correctly. There have even been cases where VA employees deliberately hid and falsified applications.

You may have waited months or even years for a decision on your VA claim. If the rating is less than what you believe you are entitled to, the VA may have made an error. In this video, we will discuss the most common errors and what you can do about these errors. Let’s dive in!
