Agency
Stevens & Sullivan represents veterans before the Department of Veterans Affairs in initial claims, Supplemental Claims, Higher-Level Reviews, and Board of Veterans’ Appeals cases.
How agency representation works
Navigating VA disability law often requires representation before the administrative bodies inside the Department of Veterans Affairs. We handle the claim at the agency level so the evidence, the rating, and the effective date are developed before a case ever needs the Court.
That work includes new claims, rating increases, denied-claim appeals, and Board hearings. The right path depends on the decision in hand and the record behind it.
Agency practice
We walk with veterans through every stage of the VA claims process and advocate for the record that actually supports the claim.
Agency work turns on VA regulations, evidence, and deadlines. We handle initial claims, Supplemental Claims, Higher-Level Reviews, and Board appeals.
The goal is the rating and effective date the evidence supports, whether that is service connection, a higher rating, TDIU, or additional related conditions.
Representation does not stop at one decision. If VA gets it wrong, we continue with the next review, Board appeal, or court filing that the case needs.
Common conditions
Service-connected post-traumatic stress disorder claims, rating increases, and appeals.
