Friday, February 11, 2011 Are You a Veteran? Do you qualify for a ‘Presumptive Disability Benefit?”
by Susan M Graham, Esq.
The Department of Veterans Affairs has a list of “Presumptive” Disability Benefits for Certain Groups of Veterans. What does it mean to have a “presumptive” service connected disability? According to the VA they presume “that specific disabilities diagnosed in certain veterans were caused by their military service.”
This means if you are a veteran and have been diagnosed with one of the identified conditions you may be eligible to receive a military service connected disability.
I have attached the list prepared by the VA.
