Disclaimer

Not legal advice

The pages and guides on this site explain how disability and veterans’ claims generally work. They aren’t advice about your claim, which depends on facts we don’t know yet. Rules and benefit amounts change; check anything that matters with a lawyer.

No attorney-client relationship yet

Reading this site, calling, or sending a message doesn’t make you our client. You become a client only when we agree in writing to take your claim. Until then, don’t wait on us to meet a deadline.

Examples and past claims

The worked examples on this site describe invented people. The figures are rounded and only illustrate how the rules work. Past results in any claim don’t guarantee a similar result in yours.

Confidential information

Please don’t send your Social Security number, medical records or other confidential details through the contact form or by email before we’ve spoken. We’ll tell you how to send them safely.

Not a government site

Kanawha Law Project is a nonprofit law office. It isn’t part of the Social Security Administration or the Department of Veterans Affairs.
