8. How do I establish service connection?
You can establish service connection for a current disability five ways: (1) directly; 2) by using a presumption; (3) by showing that it is secondary to a disability that is also service connected; (4) by showing that a pre-service condition was aggravated during service; and (5) by showing that you were injured in a VA hospital or while pursuing a course of VA vocational rehabilitation. |
