I'm trying to apply for VA compensation, but I'm new to the process. I just received my rating and saw how much I would get each month. The pay is significantly lower than the pay charts I see online. I'm married, but I'm receiving the single rate. Do I need to prove my marital status? Any guidance on the correct amount I should be getting will be appreciated. Thanks.

If you contact the VA office, they’ll walk you through the steps of how to request a review of your dependents. Once the review is complete, you’ll receive the correct compensation. You can also complete this process online but it’s easier to call for assistance when you’re new to the process.

Are you working with a VSO? What’s your rating?

My strongest suggestion is that you contact one of the select organizations who assist with filing your claim(s).

I have made several inquiries prior to finally settling in with the American Legion. You do not have to be a current member of any of the Veterans Representatives.

I also suggest that you do not attempt to file on your own. This process will be especially time consuming, and you may not be able to see any VA Physicians for quite literally 6 months or more.

Good luck

Hi there! You can actually ask them directly. They will guide you for sure.

Curious as to how many deals at once is typical for a first year associate to take on (M&A, mostly private equity clients).
