Omaha is home to Nebraska’s VA medical center and Offutt Air Force Base. We help metro-area veterans understand the VA rating system and build stronger claims, all by phone and video.

From downtown Omaha to Bellevue and Papillion, we help veterans at every stage of a VA disability claim.
Never filed? We explain service connection, help you file an Intent to File to protect your effective date, and build an evidence checklist before your C&P exam.
Conditions get worse. We compare your rating decision to the VA rating schedule and help you document how your symptoms have changed.

The VA medical center on Woolworth Avenue is the hub of the VA Nebraska-Western Iowa Health Care System. Many C&P exams happen there or with VA-contracted examiners in the metro.
Airmen leaving Offutt can file through the Benefits Delivery at Discharge (BDD) program 180 to 90 days before separation. VA clinics in nearby Bellevue and Papillion make follow-up care easy.
Student veterans at the University of Nebraska Omaha and metro colleges can use the GI Bill and receive VA disability compensation at the same time. They’re separate benefits.
Douglas, Sarpy and surrounding counties have Veterans Service Officers who help veterans file at no cost. We’ll tell you honestly if that’s the better fit.
Omaha veterans have three decision review options. Pick the one that fits why the VA said no, and watch the deadline on your decision letter.
Submit new and relevant evidence the VA didn't have, such as a nexus letter, private treatment records, or buddy statements.
A more senior reviewer looks at the same evidence again. You can't add new evidence, but you can point out errors.
Appeal to a Veterans Law Judge at the Board of Veterans' Appeals, with or without a hearing.

Many Omaha-area veterans were rated years ago and never revisited it. There are four common paths to a higher combined rating:
If symptoms are worse than your current rating describes, file for an increase with recent medical evidence. The VA rates on current severity, so recent treatment records and a clear description of flare-ups matter.
A service-connected condition can cause others: sleep apnea or depression secondary to PTSD, radiculopathy secondary to a back injury, knee or hip problems from an altered gait. Each can be rated separately.
Tinnitus, PACT Act presumptives and old injuries are commonly missed. If service-connected conditions keep you from holding steady work, Individual Unemployability (TDIU) can pay at the 100% rate.
If you get a notice that the VA plans to reduce your rating, you generally have 60 days to send evidence, and requesting a hearing within 30 days keeps your payments unchanged until it's held.
