DVA said no, or said yes at a number that doesn't add up. That letter is one delegate's call on the evidence they had, and it can be reviewed.
Veterans and serving members with a DVA compensation decision they want looked at again: a rejected Initial Liability claim, or a Permanent Impairment amount that undersells what you live with. The Veterans' Review Board (VRB) reviews both.
Not sure an appeal is the right move? If the fight is about impairment points rather than whether the condition was accepted, a worsening claim can be the better path.
Watch: Claim Knocked Back? It's Not the End of the Road.
The letter sets out the reasons, the pathway and the time limit that applies to you. I read it line by line and tell you straight where the reasoning fell short.
The VRB takes a fresh look at the facts, so the job is a better file than the delegate had. The gap is almost never the condition. It's the link to service.
It goes directly to the VRB, not through DVA, and must say why you disagree and attach the new evidence. I write it and lodge it well inside the 12 months from receiving notice of an MRCA decision.
The VRB is not a courtroom. Three members look over your case, and DVA lets you bring an advocate. That's my seat. BAC is not a law firm and I don't provide legal representation; I work the primary claim and the VRB stage.
Bring me the letter first. I'll read the reasons, tell you whether a review or a worsening claim is the better move, and find the evidence that was missing. Not lodged yet? Start with Initial Liability and build the file properly; the full appeals and reviews guide has the detail on every stage. Fixed fee. No percentage cuts. You know what it costs before we start, and every dollar of your entitlement stays yours.
Send me the decision. I'll tell you straight what can be done.
