I was injured while I was on active duty. How do I get help with my medical needs for that injury?
In general, here is the definition of a service related medical condition: An injury or disease that was caused by, or aggravated by, active military service. As you can see, the definition is painted with very broad strokes. The injury or disease must also be 'chronic', that is, it must be currently present, and there must be a clear connection to your active service. The VA claims process is a complicated one and the Nicollet County service officer stand ready to assist you in developing your claim. Call our office for an appointment to discuss your claim for service connection.
