Veterans Disability FAQs

If I receive Veteran’s benefits, am I eligible for Social Security benefits too?

While you can receive both benefits at the same time, securing Veteran’s benefits doesn’t automatically make you eligible for Social Security benefits or vice versa.  Each program has their own requirements and application process.  You’ll need to review each program’s requirements to determine your eligibility.

Will Jeffrey Freedman Attorneys help me with the application process?  Or do I have to wait until my claim has been denied?

Can you represent Veteran’s in other states besides New York?

How long does the VA typically take to decide on a claim?

It can take months, even up to a year for the VA to decide on a claim.  We can try to expedite the process for you by ensuring you have all the necessary documentation upfront so that when your case is reviewed, the VA has a clear picture of your health and can make a determination on your case without having to ask for more information.
