 The U.S.
Court of Appeals for Veteran's Claims is located in Washington
D.C. My office represents residents of Pennsylvania in their
appeals from denials of their service related claims.
Veterans
and others entitled to
Veterans Affairs (VA) benefits have the right to appeal denial of
requested benefits. Types of claims frequently at issue include:
- Pension
- Disability Compensation
- Education Benefits
- Unreimbursed/unapproved
medical
- Overpayments
There are several
available levels of appeal and there are important
time limits applicable to each level. It is advisable for
claimants to consult with an experienced advocate or attorney
when proceeding.
The
U.S. Court of Appeals for Veteran's Claims is the first available
level of appeal to an entity which is not a part of the Department of
Veterans Affairs. Instead, the Court is independent.
Appeals to the U.S. Court of Appeals for Veteran's Claims must be taken
within 120 days of the date stamped on the prior decision (from the
Board of Veterans Appeals).
Appeals
from a decision of the U.S. Court of Appeals for Veterans
Claims are made to a Federal Appellate Court.
There
are relatively few attorneys who are members of the specialized
bar of the U.S. Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims. Our office
is proud to represent veterans from Pennsylvania in these
matters.
More
information on the U.S. Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims may be
found on the court's website
,which also posts written opinions of the court.
