3 Ways to Establish VA Service Connection

What is service connection? In order for a veteran to be granted service connection, there must be evidence that the disability is linked to the veteran’s time in military service. Once the VA establishes that there is enough evidence to support a veteran’s claim for service connection, then he or she will become eligible for disability compensation benefits. Here are 3 ways to establish VA service connection:
direct service connection
secondary service connection
pre-existing service connection
