BONUS FOR THE VETERAN OF THE VETERAN SHARE OF THE DAY

#1 Reason why your VA Claim was denied – Assuming if a condition is in your medical records, it will automatically be service-connected:
While in the military, we are taught not to assume anything, this is also true for the VA. Even if you have documented health issues in your military records, the VA may say, the condition is not service-connected. That is because they do not see a connection to military service.

To PREVENT this from happening, here is a list of documents which (when done well) will prove your service connection:

Disability Benefits Questionnaire (DBQ)
Nexus Letter
Personal Statement
Buddy Letters
These items could provide additional information needed for the VA to service-connect your disability.
