Daniel Clarke
Attorney · 8-Year U.S. Army Veteran

Madison Cannon
Attorney · Veterans' Advocacy Background

Madison found her calling in veterans' disability law after her first client win at the WVU Veterans Advocacy Clinic. She saw firsthand the profound difference this work makes. She now advocates for veterans navigating claims, appeals, and rating reviews at Tucker Disability Law.

Every month without the right rating is money you won't get back.

Let's start.
When You Retain Tucker Disability Law, Here's What We Do

The Tucker Disability Law 9-Point Forensic Audit: We Find What the VA Missed

When you choose Tucker Disability Law, our attorneys don't just re-file your paperwork. We perform a forensic analysis of your entire claim — examining nine critical areas where the VA commonly makes mistakes. Most denials happen because someone missed something. We find it because we ask the right questions and know how to get the right answers.

1. Did the VA Use the Right Effective Date?

An incorrect effective date can cost you years of back pay. We verify the VA honored your original filing date.

2. Does Your C&P Exam Actually Match Your Condition?

Many denials are based on flawed Compensation & Pension exams. We check whether the examiner's notes reflect your real symptoms.

3. Did the Examiner Understand Your Condition?

C&P exams are often done by generalists—like nurse practitioners—who may not specialize in your condition. We verify if they had the training to diagnose you correctly.

4. Is There a Service Connection the VA Overlooked?

The VA must connect your condition to your service. If they missed the link, we find the evidence to establish it.

5. Did the VA Apply the Correct Rating Criteria?

Rating schedules are complex and often misapplied. We verify the VA used the right criteria for your specific condition.

6. Are There Secondary Conditions the VA Ignored?

One service-connected condition often leads to others. If the VA only rated your primary condition, you may be owed additional benefits.

7. Are You Missing Special Monthly Compensation?

SMC provides additional payment for severe disabilities. Many veterans qualify but are never told about it.

8. Is Critical Evidence Missing from Your File?

The VA decides based on what's in your record. If key medical evidence or service records are missing, your claim was decided on incomplete information.

9. Were You Evaluated for Unemployability?

If your disabilities prevent you from working, you may qualify for TDIU — Total Disability based on Individual Unemployability — even without a 100% rating.

Don't guess where your claim went wrong. Let us find it.

Veterans Who Fought Back — And Won

These veterans were told "no" by the VA. Tucker Disability Law told them, "We're just getting started."

Ira Gold Story
$200,000
Recovered After 12 Years of Denials
"It was the best decision I ever made… they wouldn't let go. They were like a tenacious bulldog."
— Ira Gold, U.S. Army Veteran
100%
Rating
David M., Marine Corps Veteran Denied for PTSD — Twice

Granted
TDIU
Sarah L., Air Force Veteran Denied Unemployability
"The VA said I could still work despite my back injury. The Tucker team proved them wrong. I got my TDIU status and the back pay I desperately needed."

Every Month You Wait Is Money You’re Not Putting in Your Pocket.

A denied claim doesn't fix itself. The VA won't call you to say they made a mistake. And every month that passes without the right rating is another month of benefits you've earned but aren't receiving. If you're rated at 50% when you should be at 100%, that's over $2,000 per month left on the table.

Strict Deadlines

Appeal deadlines are strict. Miss yours and you may have to start over from scratch.

Medical Care

Without the right rating, medical care and treatment benefits stay out of reach.

Take Action

The VA won't fix their mistake for you. Someone has to take action. That's what we do.

Don't leave your benefits to chance.
