Active Duty Service Members
Service Connected Disability
You are on duty 24/7,
365 days per year. Service Connected means the disability was a result of disease
or injury incurred or aggravated during active military service. To be eligible
for disability compensation, the veteran’s discharged must be under conditions other
than dishonorable, and the disability must not be the result of willful misconduct
by the veteran/service member.
Documenting Your Disease or Injury
The best type
of documentation is your MEDICAL RECORD. MAX4VETS® can assist you in identifying
claimable injuries or illnesses as referenced in CFR Title 38 Part 4. MAX4VETS® also
helps you build and maintain a related database.
Preparing to Exit the Service
Your
Final Physical Examination is the last chance to ensure that ALL injuries and
illnesses are discussed and documented by a service provider.
