The VA Claims Mistake Every Veteran Makes - How To Avoid Overwhelming Your VA Claim

- In the world of VA claims, there is one mistake that many veterans make without even realizing it. This mistake can significantly impact the outcome of their claim and potentially delay or deny their benefits.
The mistake is filing too many disabilities in your VA claim. Many veterans have a tendency to list every ailment, injury, or condition they have ever experienced during their time in service. While it may seem like you are accurately representing your health and seeking the maximum compensation, this approach can actually hurt you in the long run.
Firstly, listing too many disabilities can overwhelm the VA reviewers and cause delays in processing your claim. With a large number of disabilities to review, it takes longer for the VA to gather and evaluate all the necessary medical evidence. This can lead to frustration and impatience on the part of the veteran, and ultimately delay their benefits.
Secondly, listing too many disabilities can also weaken your claim. The VA follows guidelines for evaluating each disability based on its severity and impact on daily functioning. When you list multiple disabilities, some of which may be minor or unrelated to your service, it dilutes the overall severity of your claim. This means that you may receive a lower rating or even have some disabilities denied altogether.
Another issue with listing too many disabilities is that it can confuse the VA and make it difficult for them to understand the primary issues you are claiming. This can result in a lack of focus on the most critical disabilities, leading to a less favorable outcome.
So how can you avoid making this mistake? The key is to strategize your claim carefully. Instead of listing every single disability, focus on those that have had the greatest impact on your daily life and were directly caused or worsened by your service. Make sure to provide clear and thorough evidence for each disability, including medical records and statements from doctors.
If you are uncertain about which disabilities to include in your claim, seek the advice of a qualified service officer or legal representative. They can help you understand which disabilities are most likely to be accepted by the VA and how to properly present your case.
In conclusion, don't fall into the trap of listing too many disabilities in your VA claim. By carefully strategizing and focusing on your most impactful conditions, you can increase your chances of success and avoid overwhelming the VA reviewers. Be diligent in gathering evidence and seeking guidance from experts, and you will have a stronger claim that accurately represents your needs as a veteran.
So take some time to evaluate your claim strategy and make sure you are not making this common mistake. Your future benefits may depend on it. Stay informed, stay proactive, and good luck with your VA claim!

Yesterday I was awarded 100 percent disability for ptsd with Major Depression. Please, everyone who watches,listen, and pay close attention to what Combat Craig says. He going to give you honest and helpful advice. Do as he says. He won't steer you wrong.
Same here, yesterday went from 90% to 100% with MDD. I felt better knowing my claim had been approved and I wouldn't have to deal with the VBA anymore.
Can mental at 70% be increased?
Did they automatically grant you SMC-S?
@colbycharles52 Yes, buy you have too meet the conditions for that. If you don't you will get a lower rate or a zero rating.
@@kelseyjames746 yes I’m aware but a lot of vets that are eligible for it don’t get it automatically granted to them.
After finding this channel a few videos, you’ve highlighted a few mistakes that I’ve made while filing claims. Won’t be making those same mistakes in the future. Thanks Craig for all you do for us.
If you don’t think you got ptsd give it a few years then you’ll realize you do that’s what I did tell everyone I’m fine then boom one day holy shit I’m fucked up went for reevaluation went from 30 to 100 p&t just from mental health the stigma is real when you’re in
This could be a great series, where you review claims and help veterans know what to do/ what not to do.
Got to try and get my migranes up. Ive been down once or twice a week for a year. Took a break from school again to try and get my energy up to do another 3 month run without missing days since its clock hours and burning up my education benefits to miss days. I didnt realize it was rated as service connected but at zero percent. By their rules it should at least be 15% or more. I kinda hope that pushes me up to 100% from 90%
Seriously??? Telling someone they have too many claims and then saying low value or 0% not worth going for is horrible advice. I have 5 high value claims and 20+ low value claims. The low value claims got me over the hump and I claimed over 45 ailments/injuries all sustained in service and documented in my medical records. Also percentages can increase over the years. It helps for those who live overseas too.
Even with 0% hysterectomy, you get SMC for "loss of creative organ"...
thanks cc
Help CC…. I have an active intent to file…. When I log in it states last saved date as July 2023.. Then states “your application will expire Oct 26, 2024”……. If I last saved it in July, wouldn’t July 2024 be the max expiration date?
Hey Craig, is there someone you can recommend to file and my case? I understand that there are companies out there that can take care of all the paperwork for a fee.
What I’ve noticed over the years, is that every veteran I see on this channel and all the veterans channels are doing the same-fighting for their benefits. (WE) as a community of veterans fail at organization?! Why? You ask: Because we fight the VA as individuals not as a combined force.
Think if all the 3700 Veteran organizations got together as one voice? Game changer. If these so-called veterans organizations wanted to truly fix this-they would combine resources and demand change as ‘ONE’ voice, not just one out of many.
“We” fought together on the battlefields, we have to have that overwhelming force to overcome the political challenges that infest our Veterans Administration.
1- months ago I was rated for a condition & today I received a C&P appointment for the same condition, indicating, DBQ review; what does this mean?
Hi. We are having the same issue. Last week my husband was rated, even received retroactive pay. Today we received a request for a C&P exam for the condition that was rated last week. What is happening?
