Change is a constant. We’ve heard it before because it’s true.

If you’re a veteran dealing with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), you’ve probably noticed something: their programs keep changing. New policies pop up. Old procedures get replaced. What worked last year might not work this year.

For veterans it can feel like a lot to keep up with, yet it’s also a good thing. The VA serves millions of veterans and it must keep updating to meet their needs. Through numerous changes at the VA, one thing has been constant: expert guidance from Allsup Veterans Appeals’ VA-accredited Claims Agents.

Our experts have helped thousands of veterans successfully navigate their service-connected disability appeals. The good news is you don’t have to go it alone.

Why Does The VA Change So Much?

The VA serves veterans across multiple generations, regardless of conflict. Each group has different healthcare issues and disability needs.

Shifts in medical knowledge, technology and outcomes from military service can alter veterans’ experience over time. The VA also must adapt to these changes. When doctors discover new links between military service and health problems, the VA has to update its rules. When Congress passes new laws, the VA adjusts. When the public demands specific improvements, the agency responds.

These pressures mean the VA doesn’t stand still. They are constantly evolving to adjust to what veterans need.

VA’s Big Changes From The Last Decade

Just how much change has the VA experienced? Here’s a sampling of what’s happened in just the last 10 years or so:

2013: The VA switched from paper files to digital records, helping reduce problems with paper-based files.

2014: A major scandal about appointment wait times led to significant reforms in how veterans access healthcare.

2017: Veterans exposed to contaminated water at Camp Lejeune saw their health conditions recognized.

2019: The entire appeals system was overhauled with new appeal options like Supplemental Claims.

2020: COVID hit, meaning veterans could attend virtual hearings from home.

2021: More Agent Orange conditions were added to the list of covered illnesses.

2022: The PACT Act added over 20 new conditions related to burn pits and toxic exposures.

Today: The VA continues to assess and re-evaluate how it rates disabilities and calculates compensation.

That’s a lot of change in a short time. And there’s always more on the way.

Continuous Shifts Are Hard To Follow

These changes can create real problems for veterans trying to get their compensation benefits. For instance:

• You submit a claim under one set of rules, but by the time it’s reviewed, the rules have changed.
• What counts as “proof” of your condition might be different than it was six months ago.
• New conditions get added to the approved list, but you might not hear about it.
• The appeals process you started might not be the same one you finish.

This uncertainty under changing conditions can be tough. For veterans who are already dealing with health issues, now they have to become an expert on VA regulations too?

We know that veterans may feel lost with policy changes, concerned about missing deadlines and stressed about filing the forms the right way. The stress adds up, especially when they’re counting on these benefits to pay the bills. Living with a disability brings with it enough stresses and engaging with the VA doesn’t need to be another one.

What Makes AVA Different

Here’s what sets AVA apart:

We go the distance. AVA’s VA-accredited Claims Agents don’t just glance at your file. We spend serious time reviewing your condition and finding the most effective approach for your appeal.

Help with Social Security Disability Too

Many veterans don’t realize they might qualify for both VA disability and Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI). These are two different federal disability programs with two different sets of rules.

Trying to handle both at once? That’s a headache you don’t need.

AVA is your link to managing both since it’s part of the Allsup family of services. We can help coordinate your claims so you’re not leaving money on the table. This means more stable income that you’ve already earned through both your military service and work history.

When you have experienced, expert claims agents on your side, you don’t have to worry about:

Instead, you can focus on your health and your family, knowing that someone who understands the system is fighting for you.
