Here are more top terms every veteran should know when filing a claim. Let us begin: Number 24: Board of Veterans Appeals (BVA). This court is used when a veteran feels that they should be awarded a rating and the Claims & Pension section of the VA decided not to. Number 23: Higher Level review. This is used when a veteran disagrees with a rating decision by the Claims and Pension section. A more senior experienced rating specialist will review the veteran's claim and decide if the veteran should be awarded compensation. Number 21: Diagnostic Code: These are four numbers used for the purpose of identifying injuries or illnesses for rating veterans for compensation. The VA uses four digits as Diagnostic codes. Number 20: Filing for compensation forms. These are filled when a veteran formally files an application for compensation. Stand by for more top terms.
