In order to get these benefits, you'll need to file a claim for disability compensation. When you file, you'll have to show that the added disability happened because of VA medical care or a VA program designed to help you find, get, or keep a job.
Do you want to file a claim?
No, at least not now.
Unfortunately, no relevant information is found.
I've read that if my disability was caused by unexpected complications, it can qualify me for a benefit. Is that correct?
Yes. One example would be if VA carelessness or negligence led directly to an added disability or to your injury or disease getting worse.
I just remembered to inquire about my eligibility for VA disability compensation. What must be true in order for me to be eligible for VA disability?
Did you serve on active duty, active duty for training, or inactive duty training?
Yes, I served active duty.
Do you have a disability rating for your service-connected condition?
No, I do not have a disability rating at this time.
