If you have a denial from the Board of
Veterans' Appeals in Washington, D.C., you must
appeal it to the Court of Appeals for Veterans'
Claims within only 120 days. If you would like a
free review of your Board decision, feel free to
send or fax me a copy of it as soon as possible.
Representation at the Court level is always at
no cost to you. If you win, the government pays your
attorneys' fees and expenses.
If you have a
Regional Office denial, you essentially have one
year to appeal it to the Board of Veterans' Appeals.
Don't miss any deadlines if you want to keep your
earliest possible effective date.
Depending
on several factors, including the status of your
case, an attorney may or may not be legally allowed
to represent you for a fee. If an attorney takes
your case for representation at the Regional Office
or Board level, fees are generally contingent and
based on a percentage of back benefits won. If you
hire an attorney and lose, you should still owe
nothing.
