VA Denied Your Claim? HLR vs Supplemental Claim — Which Should You File?

VA DENIED YOUR CLAIM? HLR vs. SUPPLEMENTAL CLAIM — WHICH SHOULD YOU FILE? Your VA disability claim was denied. Now what? Should you file a Higher-Level Review (HLR)? Should you submit a Supplemental Claim with new and relevant evidence? What if VA made a mistake AND you have new evidence? And how do you know which review option actually makes sense for your particular situation? Join us LIVE Saturday, August 29, 2026 at 12:00 PM CST for a special episode of The Veterans Claims Brief, presented by Royal Rock Wellness and Jim Radogna. Craig Carlton will be joined by Accredited VA Claims Agent Jim Radogna and Attorney Katrina Eagle for an in-depth discussion of one of the most important decisions a veteran can make after receiving a VA denial: HIGHER-LEVEL REVIEW vs. SUPPLEMENTAL CLAIM We're going beyond simply explaining the forms. We're talking about strategy. 🔥 WHAT WE'LL COVER We'll break down: ✅ What is a Higher-Level Review? ✅ What is a Supplemental Claim? ✅ What is the difference between HLR and a Supplemental Claim? ✅ When might an HLR make sense? ✅ When might a Supplemental Claim make sense? ✅ What does VA mean by "new and relevant evidence"? ✅ What types of evidence could potentially support a Supplemental Claim? ✅ How do you identify an error in a VA decision? ✅ What is a duty-to-assist error? ✅ What happens when you believe your C&P examination was inadequate? ✅ What if VA overlooked favorable evidence? ✅ What if you disagree with the VA's interpretation of evidence already in the record? ✅ What if you have BOTH an error and new evidence? ✅ How important is the Reasons for Decision section? ✅ Why does the one-year decision-review window matter? ✅ What is continuous pursuit? And we'll ask the question veterans really want answered: "If this were YOUR claim, which lane would you choose—and WHY?" ⚖️ We're also putting our claims agent and attorney on the spot. Craig will present real-world scenarios and ask Jim and Katrina to explain how they would approach them. Because sometimes the answer isn't simply: "File an HLR." or "File a Supplemental Claim." The real question is: WHAT PROBLEM ARE YOU TRYING TO FIX? Is the existing record wrong? Or does the claim need new evidence? Understanding that distinction can help you make a much more informed decision about what to do after a VA denial. 🚨 MYTH vs. FACT We'll also tackle some of the biggest VA claims myths we've heard from veterans, social media, VSOs, and online claims communities. "My buddy told me HLR is always faster." "I can submit new evidence with an HLR." "VA denied me, so I have to start over." "A Supplemental Claim is just filing the same claim again." "If I disagree with the VA, I automatically have an HLR case." We'll separate fact from fiction. 🎤 LIVE VETERAN Q&A And then we're opening the floor.
