Service Connection

If you can prove that your disabling condition is connected to your military service, you could be eligible for monthly compensation.

To establish service connection, you need to have medical evidence that shows your current condition is the result of an injury or illness that occurred during active duty or was aggravated by it. You can be service-connected even if you had an existing condition or disorder which was detected on the medical entrance exam to the military, but was later aggravated due to a series of events. To prove that a medical condition has deteriorated, you need an opinion from a doctor that proves that the increase in symptoms was not caused by the natural progress of the condition.
