Podcast #139: Understanding VA Presumptive Conditions: Experts Discuss What Veterans Need to Know!

VA Claims Insider Podcast

A VA presumptive condition is one that the VA “presumes” to be service-connected, even if there’s no specific Nexus (meaning “link” or “connection”) for service connection.

Presumptive conditions work like this: If you served at X location during the qualifying period and developed Y condition as a result, then X + Y = automatic service connection. In our experience, VA presumptive conditions are easy to win because you just need to show on your DD 214 that you were in an eligible location during a specific period and that you developed a qualifying disability as a result.

VA ratings for presumptive conditions range from 0% to 100%, depending on the condition and the severity of symptoms.

It’s important to note that many VA presumptive conditions are not in the VA Schedule for Rating Disabilities. Thus, they are rated by analogy to the closest condition with similar symptoms.

Alright, let’s dive in.
