What you were NEVER TOLD - Secret Presumptive Window for All Veterans #va #disability #compensation
Disabilities that appear within 1 year after discharge
If you have certain chronic (long-lasting) conditions that started within 1 year after your discharge from active military service, you may be eligible for VA disability compensation. Eligible conditions include high blood pressure (hypertension), arthritis, diabetes, or peptic ulcers. Compensation provides tax-free monthly payments. Keep reading to find out if you may be eligible.
Am I eligible for VA disability compensation?
You may be eligible for disability compensation if you meet these 3 requirements.
All of these must be true:
You have an illness or condition that’s at least 10% disabling that appears within 1 year after discharge, and
The illness or condition is listed in Title 38, Code of Federal Regulation, 3.309(a), and
You didn’t receive a dishonorable discharge
Download Title 38, Code of Federal Regulation, 3.309(a) for a complete list of covered illnesses (DOC)
Note: If you get a disability rating, you may also be eligible for VA health care and other benefits.
How do I file a claim for compensation?
You can file a claim online now. You can also file by mail, in person, or with the help of a trained professional.
File for disability compensation online
Learn about other ways to file a disability compensation claim
What evidence will I need to provide to support my claim?
Here’s what you’ll need to provide:
Evidence that your condition is at least 10% disabling (like a doctor’s report that shows you take medicine for your high blood pressure), and
Evidence that your condition appeared within 1 year after your discharge from active service (like a medical report with the date of your diagnosis)
Note: If you have a condition listed in Title 38, Code of Federal Regulation, 3.309(a), you won’t need to show the problem started during-or got worse because of-your military service. This is because we automatically assume (or “presume”) that certain conditions that appear within 1 year after discharge are caused by your service. We call these presumptive conditions.
Download Title 38, Code of Federal Regulation, 3.309(a) for a complete list of covered illnesses (DOC)
Are any illnesses covered if they appear more than 1 year after discharge?
Yes. You may be eligible for disability compensation for these illnesses, even if they appear more than 1 year after discharge:
Hansen’s disease (a long-lasting infection that affects your skin, nerves, and mucous membranes) can appear within 3 years after discharge.
Tuberculosis (an infection that attacks your lungs and sometimes other areas of your body) can appear within 3 years after discharge.
Multiple sclerosis (a long-lasting illness that can cause numbness, weakness, and many other symptoms) can appear within 7 years after discharge.
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease (a long-lasting illness that affects muscle control), can appear any time after discharge.

I’m rated for 3 respiratory Presumptives, My VA PCP ordered a lung CT scan a few months ago and they found ANOTHER Presumptive condition (bronchiectasis). Here’s my thing before they found all these conditions I had filed for OSA in which they denied, VA has issued me a cpap (which is working for me). Now I’m really considering filing for it again as a secondary to my Rhinitis or Sinusitis or Emphysema and now also using the Bronchiectasis as MORE evidence. F it, I’m filing more claims next week for other things, I think I’m throwing it in as another claim! I’m getting it this time.

Semper Fi, I got my service-connection for my Adrenal Tumor for Southwest Asia service rated at 0%. There are MANY factors which kept Veterans from getting diagnosed in a timely manner. First, NO INSURANCE, second, ONE CONDITION MAY SUPERCEDE ALL OTHERS, third, the VA FAILED / REFUSED TO TEST, DIAGNOSE, OR TREAT the Veterans illnesses / injuries. Furthermore, the VA never INFORMED us that we had 1 year. Within 90 day of getting out in 1993 I had 30% and was handed an EXCLUSION "X" ID Card and told that card PROVED that I had tested positive for toxic exposures. But today the VA says "WE'VE DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY ARE MEANS." Just a being in the right place at the right time (AKA IN THE MILITARY) should be all that is required for SERVICE-CONNECTED disabilities (PERMITTING the person didn't have it prior to service). I had a neck injury that hurt so bad I didn't know that I had a spinal fracture of my T-8. Then take into consideration that I was being MED BOARDED for MYOFASCIAL PAIN SYNDROME that THEY (the VA) needed to look DEEPER into my case. Especially now that I have "PRESUMTIVE SERIVCE-CONNECTED" disabilities and my children have BIRTH DEFECTS (linked to Toxic Exposure) Poland Syndrome (IF I WERE A WOMAN WHO SERVED IN VIETNAM). Gender Discrimination or is this MALE BASHING at the VA? Today, the VA treats Veterans like they should be doctors who know their own medical symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment options.

During Navy boot camp, I was stabbed in the eye during service week. 1 mm away from losing my eye, thank goodness, but a lot of blood and I could not see from that eye. The first class in charge of the veg prep area did not know what to do. He seemed to be more worried about getting in trouble than helping me. He finally relented and figured I should go to the hospital and I should make the mile long trek on foot. It was a facial wound, so bleeding a lot. With a lot in my actual eye. Luckily an ambulance had shown up for someone else, so they let me ride with them. Went to the hospital. They sewed me up and saw no significant damage to my vision and sent me back to the galley to work. Nice. After about 2 minutes there, my eye just starts bleeding like crazy. So back to the hospital. Got the bleeding to stop, then sent me back to work.

We can't trust that the VA will actually take care of each and every one of us. And it is because of true patriots like Jay that we're able to keep these criminals in my opinion on their toes, so to you Jay I 🫡🪖🫡🪖🫡 you my brother!

I went through my out processing while I was in Bahrain and ask the doc how did my physical about the 2 botched surgeries I had in the military and everything else I had while I was in service and he told me “you’re fine no need to worry about anything”. Well that was 2001 and after spending 10 years in the Navy. Now I’m fighting for everything I should have been fighting for back than. So my advice listen to this video, fight for what’s yours as soon as you can because the VA don’t make it any easier years later. Another great video, please keep them up.

I encourage all of you on the fence about filng a claim to do a Blue Button Report. When I got mine I was blown away with how many symptoms I forgot about reporting when I went to the clinic like chronic vomiting (GERD symptoms), staggering when my tinnitus was diagnosed (Meniers symptoms) and chronic diarrhea (IBS symptoms) that I still deal with now. You may be leaving claims on the table for conditions that you have just "Gotten used to".

Another thing that is important to note, is if you incur or aggravate an injury or disease while in Combat or War, according to 38 CFR 3.304 sec (D) the VA will accept it as service connected even if there was no reporting of it in your service record while you were still in Service, the VA has to take your word for it, because you indicated that it happened while you were in Combat. This is one that you will hardly hear anyone talk about, but it’s in the VA Law!

But since the GOV. doesn`t reconise it at this time. your are in the same boat as ww1,ww2, Korea. I did`t have any contact with anything to do with the service until I talked with a ( retired ) F/Sgt who stopped at my house to look at a trailer. He was the Commander of the area DAV. and later became tha Commander of the Michigan DAV.

If there's one piece of advice i can give, if your still in, is please write up your joes and janes correctly on their evals. It's important for their medboard and the va. I was 20 yrs guard fulltime, miltech. We tended to pencil whip the oers and ncoers. If you end up in a combat or hazardous duty station write certain words in their evals or awards. We were attacked every day in Afghanistan but i was never in direct line of fire but it was still dangerous. We just never realized while there. It became an everyday event, like the sunrise. You should place "wording" in the paperwork. Example "during hostile incoming fire from the enemy. PVT Snuffy, without fear or safety for themself contributed greatly to ensure unit and mission success." Words like "combat, attack, hostile, enemy, etc" will help them tremendously at the medboard and va. If you're a joe or jane, make sure those bullet points or paragraphs are documented. Insist on it. I'm out 3200 a month because i ignored it figuring i was gonna run to 62. As i got older, realized that wasn't gonna happen.

Question, I was discharged 31 years ago (3/31/1993) from the navy and presently I been applying for the Pact Act for the last two years for a cancer condition (CML bone marrow leukemia), if my cancer condition is not on the presumption list do I need to get my hematologist to type up a nexus for a link between my service connection disability and the in-service disease? I am a disabled navy veteran @ 100% for 27 years now, plus I already informed the VA about me being exposed to toxics while in the Navy, and was at desert Storm. Last April the VA did sent me a letter with the list of cancer condition and the one I came across was bone marrow cancer but it was for lymphoma cancer not leukemia. So I applied for lymphoma since it was bone marrow cancer but it was denied. The denial letter state it must be relevant. Anyway if I was exposed to toxics, was in Desert Storm and currently a service connected veteran with CML bone marrow cancer don't you think I should at least get my oncologist to have the VA to award me the Pact Act for CML even if it is not lymphoma but leukemia?

No, this is for all other types of claims. If you were diagnosed with something within one year of getting out, automatically service related. You may be confusing the other "1 year" deadline for PACT Act claims. That meant that if you filed within the 1 year period after it had passed, you would be backdated to the date it passed. If you filed after that 1 year window, still a presumptive, and you can file whenever, just not getting that big backpay check.

Good question. No. There are several sets of Presumptive conditions and situations, Vietnam AO, Gulf War, Camp Lejeune water etc. The PACT Act, created a presumptive list for gulf War and added a couple to Vietnam. In addition to those presumptive situations there is also the 1 year presumptive. Basically anyone who served in the military and got diagnosed for a specific condition(s) within 1 year the VA presumes its service connected

What if you do have a diagnosis that was diagnosed w/in that one year, have the documentation but it’s 14yrs later? Can I go back now and submit a claim based on presumption for the one year rule? Also, what if that diagnosis was included on your original claim but was denied service connection? How does that work?

Yes, file again. You missed the appeal window. But, you can file again. It depends on the condition, but you have a chance. The VA needs to see the diagnosis within 1 year, it doesn't matter when you file. I would write statement VA form 4138 explaining that I neglected medical needs during service due to fear, however was able to begin seeking medical care after discharge and subsequently was diagnosed with X. Although the condition may be presumptive i would also have Dr write nexus letter stating the condition is at least likely as not to have manifested during or due to your service.

@@veteransinfotapI have a similar situation. But my 20 year old claim, that is still on the va.gov site, gave me the option to file a supplemental. I was denied service related (even though diagnosed in service), because my initial claim just had 2 words on it. The name of the condition.

I wonder how I can prove sleep apnea is service connected? It wasn't diagnosed until after active duty....

you should ask the VA to do a sleep study and hopefully you could use that diagnosis for some secondarys.
