Physical Disability

Physical Disability

Physical disabilities can come in many forms. If your disability is not specifically listed below, we can still discuss how to prove it was caused by your service. Often one injury or disability that began in service can cause other disabilities to develop years after service. These kinds of disabilities are often called secondary disabilities because they are secondary to the conditions you developed in service. It could be a right knee injury causes a limp that eventually causes arthritis on the left side, or the pain medications you took for your sore back which caused gastric ulcers.
