What happens if my claim is denied?

If your claim for disability benefits is denied in New York, you can file an appeal and request a hearing with the Veterans Administration. During the hearing, you can present evidence and testimony to support your claim for disability benefits. The hearing officer will review your evidence and make a decision. If the hearing officer denies your claim, you can submit evidence to the Board of Veterans’ Appeals. The Board will review your evidence and make a final decision. If the Board of Veterans’ Appeals denies your claim, you can appeal the decision to the United States Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims. The Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims is the highest court within the Department of Veterans Affairs and has the authority to review the decisions of the Board of Veterans’ Appeals. The court can either uphold the Board’s decision or reverse it, and if they reverse it, they will remand the case back to the Board for further proceedings. If the Court of Appeals denies your appeal, you can file a petition for a writ of certiorari with the United States Supreme Court. However, the Supreme Court only accepts a very limited number of cases each year. If your claim is denied at all levels, you can also take legal action against the Department of Veterans Affairs.
