Service-Connected Disabilities

Service-connected disabilities refer to health issues or injuries that a veteran has incurred or aggravated during their military service. These conditions are recognized by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and can include physical injuries, mental health disorders, or illnesses linked to military duties. Veterans with these disabilities may be eligible for benefits, including healthcare, financial support, and vocational rehabilitation. The extent of benefits depends on the severity of the disability, as determined by the VA through evaluations and assessments. Essentially, these disabilities are acknowledged as a direct result of a veteran's service to their country.
