Serving your country should mean receiving the benefits you've earned, but too many veterans face claim denials simply because they don't understand the complex VA system. If you're a veteran or service member navigating the VA disability claims process, you know how frustrating and overwhelming it can be. The good news is that someone with insider knowledge has written the exact guide you need to succeed.
The number one reason VA disability claims get denied isn't lack of service—it's lack of proper preparation. Without knowing the specific requirements, regulations, and procedures, veterans unknowingly set themselves up for failure. This comprehensive book breaks down every step of the process, from initial filing to appeals, with clear, actionable guidance that demystifies the VA bureaucracy.
Author Dewayne Kimble brings decades of experience as both a veteran and a retired VA Rating Veterans Service Representative to these pages. He's seen hundreds of claims from both sides of the desk and knows exactly what works—and what doesn't. With his insider perspective, you'll learn the unwritten rules, the common pitfalls to avoid, and the strategies that VA raters actually respond to favorably.
This guide goes beyond theory with concrete tools including examples of effective nexus letters, guidance on Compensation and Pension exams, tips for gathering compelling evidence, and explanations of diagnostic codes and rating percentages. You'll also find detailed coverage of important topics like Benefit Delivery at Discharge (BDD), service connection requirements, higher level review options, and the critical Intent to File process.
Whether you're just starting your claim, supplementing an existing one, or appealing a denial, VA Claims Success provides the roadmap you need. Stop fighting the system alone—arm yourself with knowledge and increase your chances of getting the compensation benefits you've rightfully earned.
