What is a Presumptive Service Connection? 

VA presumes that certain disabilities were caused by military service. This is because of the unique circumstances of a specific Veteran’s military service. If a presumed condition is diagnosed in a Veteran within a certain group, they can be awarded disability compensation. 

The VA states there are over 900 possible ratable disabling conditions. This is a very short list in comparison so please; ensure you get a diagnosis prior to discharge!
