Soldiers can return from war with a number of conditions, injuries, and aggravated preexisting conditions. According to Veteran's Affairs (VA), 60,000 U.S. service personnel have been wounded or have struggled with psychological disorders in the wake of their tours in Iraq since 2003. The percentage of amputees is the highest since the Civil War and the VA estimates that up to one-third of all those who have served in Iraq suffer from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).
If you believe you have a combat- or service-connected physical or psychological injury you may be entitled to Veterans' Disability Compensation. It can sometimes require an experienced attorney to get the benefits you have a right to receive.
Veterans who have served our country should be treated with the honor and respect they deserve! Don't spend another day worrying about how you will pay your medical bills and support your family. Don't continue to think that you are not entitled to disability benefits because your application has been denied.
