Yes, all VA benefits and programs come with certain eligibility requirements that must be met. There are also deadlines to keep in mind as you go about filing your claim.

• Disability claims: Fortunately, there is no time limit for applying for VA disability benefits, though the longer you wait to file, the less back pay you may be eligible to receive.
• Appealing claims: If you wish to appeal a rejected VA claim, you must submit a formal appeal within one (1) year of the initial decision date.
• Pre-discharge claims: Active veterans who have no more than 180 days left of service can begin the process of applying for VA benefits prior to discharge.
• Fully developed claims: Once you submit your application for VA benefits, you have one (1) year to supply the VA with all requested documentation.

You may be denied benefits if you submit a claim with insufficient evidence or inconsistent information or if you miss a filing deadline. Working with Stuart veteran affairs lawyers is one of the best ways to ensure your VA claim application is submitted on time and with the evidence needed to support your eligibility.
