VA assumes you were healthy when you entered service but not always. Here’s why presumption of soundness cases get complicated fast.

With SMC-L, the need for help with daily activities is the foundation of the benefit. But with SMC-R1, the veteran is already compensated for extremely severe disabilities, and Aid and Attendance is added as an extra layer to recognize their need for ongoing personal care.

A VA compensation and pension exam is one of the most important moments in a disability claim, yet many veterans are not sure how to prepare for it. If you have a C&P exam coming up, this is something you should understand before you walk in!

Some claims are strengthened by proof that veterans may already have but never think to submit. Understanding what can quietly support where and how you served may make a meaningful difference in how VA views your claim. #veteransbenefits #veterans #vaclaim

Aid and Attendance plays a very different role depending on the level of Special Monthly Compensation involved. In this video, CCK Law Partner Brad Hennings highlights a distinction that can affect both eligibility and the amount of compensation a veteran may receive.

Walking into a VA compensation and pension exam unprepared can weaken your disability claim. If you have a C&P exam coming up, this is something every veteran should understand.

Is there an age limit for VA disability compensation? In this video, CCK Law Founding Partner Robert Chisholm quickly breaks down what veterans need to know about their benefits.

The VA is making significant changes to its healthcare infrastructure — and some veterans may feel the impact directly. From clinic closures to leadership shake-ups at a major medical center, there are growing concerns about access to care.
