Service connected means that a Veteran got sick or injured while serving in the military. In order for a condition to be considered service connected, the evidence would need to show -
1. That the condition was caused by/diagnosed during military service and has continued to affect you or,
2. The condition existed prior to service and was aggravated or made worse during your military service or,
3. Is a result of treatment received at a VA facility or,
4. Is a presumptive condition - VA presumes that certain disabilities were caused by military service.
We encourage you to apply, and let VA consider the evidence to make a determination.

You may be eligible for VA health care benefits if you served in the active military, naval, or air service and didn’t receive a dishonorable discharge.
If you enlisted after September 7, 1980, or entered active duty after October 16, 1981, you must have served 24 continuous months or the full period for which you were called to active duty, unless any of the descriptions below are true for you.
This minimum duty requirement may not apply if any of these are true:
You were discharged for a disability that was caused—or made worse—by your active-duty service, or
You were discharged for a hardship or “early out,” or
You served prior to September 7, 1980
If you’re a current or former member of the Reserves or National Guard, you must have been called to active duty by a federal order and completed the full period for which you were called or ordered to active duty. If you had or have active-duty status for training purposes only, you don’t qualify for VA health care.
