Ensuring Service Connection
Dedicated to serving those who have already served for us.
Service connection is a crucial element in the veterans disability benefits process. It is the legal concept that establishes a direct link between your current disability and your military service. Without service connection, you will not be eligible for disability benefits. To ensure service connection, we will need to establish three key elements:
-
We will need to demonstrate that you are currently suffering from a disability. This may involve obtaining medical evidence and opinions from medical professionals.
-
We will need to identify an event or injury that occurred during your military service that may have caused or contributed to your current disability. This may involve reviewing your military service records and identifying any incidents or exposures that may have led to your current disability.
-
We will need to demonstrate a nexus, or causal link, between your current disability and the in-service event or injury. This may involve obtaining medical opinions and expert testimony to show that your current disability is a result of the event or injury that occurred during your military service.
The process of establishing service connection can be complex, and it often requires a thorough understanding of veterans disability law and the VA claims process. As your attorney, we will work closely with you to gather the necessary evidence and build a strong case to establish service connection.
