The WDVA Milwaukee Claims Section, as your VA-accredited representative, can help you submit your claim for VA benefits and identify the best evidence to get it approved.
Why should you initiate a federal claim now?
- You have earned the benefits, take advantage of them.
- VA benefits are not a limited resource, and you are not taking away benefits from another veteran.
- Increase your eligibility for many state and federal benefits.
- Veteran disability compensation is non-taxable.
- The further you get from your military service, the harder it is to prove service connection.
- The average number of days it takes the VA to process a claim is 127 days, but the more complicated the claim, the longer it will take. It is time to get your benefits sooner rather than later.
