What Types of Legal Assistance Can You Get with Veterans Affairs?

Many veterans are unaware of all of the different services and benefits which their service record may entitle them to receive. One of the most important services that is provided by a Dallas, TX veterans affairs lawyer is a careful review of your situation so you can identify all of the different programs that you may be eligible for. Paying for nursing home care or home care can be very expensive, and getting help with your bills and costs as a senior can allow you to preserve your nest egg so you can leave behind a legacy for your loved ones. Once your attorney has provided assistance in identifying what types of programs and benefits you deserve, your attorney can provide you with assistance in submitting applications and dealing with the veterans’ administration.

The VA has various managerial problems which can make it a challenge for veterans to navigate the system and get the benefits they deserve. Understaffing, lack of funding, outdated computer programs and a host of other issues make it difficult for even dedicated public servants at the VA to help veterans to get the care and assistance they need. It is very helpful for veterans and their families to have a knowledgeable legal representative who knows how to navigate the bureaucracy and move benefits claims forward in a timely manner.

Vermillion Law Firm, LLC provides advice on obtaining paperwork and can help you to complete applications for all programs and services for which you are eligible. Our experienced legal professionals can also assist you in fighting benefits denials, in determining the status of your application, and in moving your claim forward in as timely a manner as possible.

JOHN R. VERMILLION and JENNIFER C. VERMILLION have each received accreditation by the Department of Veterans Affairs (“VA”) to prepare, present and prosecute claims for veterans before the VA. Accreditation refers to the authority granted by the VA to those attorneys who meet the standards established by the VA. The privilege of accreditation carries with it the responsibility to maintain specified standards of conduct and comply with the laws that govern VA representations, as set forth in the United States Code and the Code of Federal Regulations. According to federal law, attorneys who do not receive VA accreditation are prohibited from assisting claimants in the preparation, presentation and prosecution of VA claims, regardless of whether or not the attorney charges legal fees for those services. Unaccredited attorneys may only provide limited services to veterans, such as providing general information about VA benefits, and may not assist veterans in the preparation, presentation, and prosecution of their claims. The VA accreditation system is designed to ensure that lawyers who represent VA claimants have a thorough understanding of the VA health and benefit systems, so that they may provide quality assistance in the preparation, presentation and prosecution of those claims.
