What types of claims are there?
There are various types of claims disabled veterans can file based on their unique circumstances. These may include claims based on disabilities that were present when a veteran entered the military (pre-service disability), disabilities that occurred during active service (in-service disabilities), and disabilities that developed after a veteran left the military (post-service disabilities). Other types of claims include pre-discharge claims (for military members within 180 days of separation or retirement) and claims based on special circumstances.
