VA Disability Help You Can Get from Our VA Attorneys
The Veterans’ Disability program has many parts and processes.
VA attorneys at Silver & Archibald can help you with all of the following situations and more:
- Increasing your VA Disability rating. So you can receive financial support that makes a difference.
- Raising your disability rating to 100 percent. Maximum benefits come when the combination of your service-connected health impairments adds up to 100 percent or your disabilities leave you unable to work.
- Getting Total Disability Individual Unemployability (TDIU): Even without a 100 percent rating, qualifying for TDIU is another way to maximize the amount of Veterans’ Disability benefits you receive.
- Making a toxic exposure claim under the PACT Act: This new law from 2022 makes it easier for veterans to receive benefits for toxic exposure during military service, such as burn pits in the Gulf War, Agent Orange in Vietnam, or water contamination at Camp Lejeune in North Carolina.
- Collecting VA survivors’ benefits: Spouses of veterans who died because of service-connected disabilities can be paid a monthly benefit called Dependency and Indemnity Compensation (DIC).

Did You Experience VA Malpractice?
Sometimes armed forces veterans who get VA medical care suffer harm from the medical treatment they receive.
You may not think of that as a “service-connected” injury, but it is a special kind of case that you can seek benefits and compensation for.
Silver & Archibald Veterans’ Disability attorneys stand up for former service members who experience VA malpractice committed by VA medical centers, doctors, and other health care providers.
As a military veteran whose VA medical care caused more damage to your health, you have two ways to pursue compensation for VA medical malpractice:
- 1151 Claims: You can add to your VA Disability benefits if you show that negligent VA medical care made your service-connected health impairments worse or caused new health problems. This treats your new conditions as if they are service-connected. The number refers to the law that created this kind of case.
- FTCA Claims: When your health was damaged by the actions of a federal government employee, such as VA hospital employees, you can file a claim under the Federal Tort Claims Act (FTCA). You start with a complaint to the government and then likely go to federal court, where you seek a financial settlement for your injury.
When you sacrificed and suffered because of your military service, you deserve respect and gratitude from your country. You also deserve real support, not just words.
For a more economically secure life—a life of greater dignity and peace—get VA Disability help from Silver & Archibald.
