Service-Related Disability
A service-related disability is a physical or mental condition that a military service member develops or experiences as a result of their service. These disabilities can affect daily functioning, work, or quality of life. They are recognized by the government for benefits, support, and compensation to help address the ongoing impacts of their service. This includes conditions like injuries, chronic illnesses, or mental health issues directly linked to military duties. The goal is to honor and assist veterans by providing resources and recognition for service-connected health challenges.
