NASHVILLE VETERANS BENEFITS ATTORNEY

James R. Comerford truly cares about veterans, disabled individuals, and their families. Our office has seen firsthand how challenging life can be with a disability and how beneficial VA benefits or short-term disability benefits can be for a person or household.

Every day, heroic Americans risk their lives to defend the American people on foreign terrain. On a daily basis, these military personnel confront risks and perils, and many return home injured as a result of explosives, gunfire, and other violent situations. In addition to physical wounds, many veterans return to the United States with mental health problems, which can occur even when no physical injuries are present.

In 2014, an estimated 3.8 million people had an active disability as a result of their military service.  Because the US Department of Veterans Affairs recognizes that many veterans with disabilities require assistance, it offers benefits to assist them in supporting themselves and receiving the care they require. Many impairments qualify for benefits, including the ones listed below:

• Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD);
• Traumatic brain injury (TBI);
• Loss of Hearing (tinnitus);
• Loss of vision;
• Loss of a limb;
• Illness from Agent Orange exposure;
• Gulf War syndrome;
• Psychiatric and mental illness;
• Other physical impairments;
• Cognitive impairments;
• Military sexual trauma (MST).

These are just a few of the various impairments that may qualify you for benefits; if you’re not sure if you qualify, contact VA benefits attorney James R. Comerford to explore your legal rights and choices.
