Obtaining VA Benefits for
Service-Connected Mental Disabilities
The fact that a service-connected mental disability may not as easily recognizable as a lost limb or another type of physical injury, does not make it any less real or debilitating.
At Bosley, McKown & Bratch, we offer compassionate support and experienced legal help to veterans throughout the United States who are suffering from mental disabilities — a major part of our practice for nearly 15 years. Today, our staff of attorneys includes Wade R. Bosley (one of the first attorneys in the country to devote his entire practice to veterans' disability issues) and Ralph J. Bratch (an Army Reserve Judge Advocate who is sometimes called on to provide written guidance and comments to the VA itself on the inadequacies and unfairness of various current and proposed VA disability regulations).
Our firm has other resources to offer as well, including a large network of qualified psychiatrists, psychologists and other mental health professionals with whom we work, and to whom we are often able to get our clients referred.
Using all of the knowledge and resources at our disposal, we have successfully helped many veterans obtain disability benefits for various mental impairments.
