Turn Denied Claims Into Winners with a Notice of Disagreement

| Discuss on Reddit

Don't accept that denial—fight back with a Notice of Disagreement within one year. Too many veterans give up after an initial denial, leaving earned benefits on the table. If VA denied your claim in the last 12 months, file a Notice of Disagreement today to keep your original effective date alive. You've got three lanes: Supplemental Claim with new evidence, Higher-Level Review for errors, or Board Appeal for a judge's eyes. Choose your battlefield based on why they denied you—missing evidence needs Supplemental, bad interpretation needs Higher-Level.
