How does a Veteran know if they have a good claim for service-connected disability compensation benefits?

Veterans must understand three things for a claim for service-connected compensation.
1. The injury or disease incurred or aggravated during service–

Meaning in the time-period the veteran served in the military, not whether the injury or disease was a result of combat.

2. The veteran has a current disability–

The veteran could have had the worst disease known to man, but still not recover any compensation from the VA if the veteran has since fully recovered from that illness.  Veterans should remember that pain is not an injury or disease, but is rather a symptom of such injury or diseases, so is important to compensation for this and that’s when a new york personal injury attorney could really be of help.

For veterans that served in the Persian Gulf War and are now suffering from undiagnosed symptoms, you may be suffering from what is known as Gulf War Syndrome.  Physicians treating Gulf War veterans should be made aware that if they are unable to diagnosis such a disease then they simply say so, rather than guess a diagnosis.  It is more favorable for the veteran if the treating physician leave the potential Gulf War Syndrome candidate as undiagnosed, rather than take a guess at a potentially incorrect diagnosis.

3. What medical professional has indicated that there exists a
relationship between the current disability and the injury or disease
incurred or aggravated during service?

This means both VA and private medical practitioners.
