VA claims are often denied due to insufficient evidence of injury during service, absence of a diagnosis for the claimed disability, or failure to establish a clear link between the illness and military service.
The bureaucratic process of VA disability claims is not for the faint hearted. Initial claims, Board of Appeals, HLR, Supplemental claims, Secondaries - the list of mysterious VA acronyms and terminology stretches ad infinitum. For veterans struggling with their health, the claims process can often feel like an overwhelming headache.
A lay statement is a personal testimony provided by a veteran or someone close to them to describe the impacts of service-connected injuries on their daily life, helping to establish the effects of the disability, and it is used as evidence to support a VA disability claim.
