Question 1

What if I do not have all of my records yet?

Accepted Answer

That is common. SCG can still begin by reviewing what you currently have and identifying what may be missing. During the intake process, we will discuss available records, prior VA decisions, medical evidence, and next steps.

Question 2

Can SCG help if my claim was denied years ago?

Accepted Answer

Yes. A prior denial does not always mean the issue is over. SCG can review the decision history and help determine whether an appeal, supplemental claim, or other next step may be appropriate.

Question 3

Will I work with one person throughout the process?

Accepted Answer

SCG assigns support based on the needs of your case. You may work with a representative or assigned advocate who helps guide communication, documents, and next steps throughout the process.

Question 4

Do I need a diagnosis before starting a claim?

Accepted Answer

A current diagnosis is often important for VA disability claims. If you are unsure whether your records support your condition, SCG can review what you have and explain what may be needed

Question 5

What if my condition has gotten worse since my last VA decision?

Accepted Answer

You may be able to pursue a rating increase if your service-connected condition has worsened. SCG can help review the situation and discuss what evidence may support the request.

Question 6

Can I work with SCG if I already filed a claim on my own?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Many clients contact SCG after filing independently. We can review your current claim status, identify potential gaps, and discuss whether additional strategy or support may be needed.
