It is important for Veterans to know that there is no time limit for filing a claim for service connection.
Many Veterans don’t begin suffering medical symptoms until several years after service. In this case, a Veteran can still file a VA claim several years later.
However, VA will often make it difficult for a Veteran to obtain service connection, even after providing evidence in their initial claim.

Types of Service Connection
VA’s rules for winning service connection are complicated because there are five different ways a Veteran may obtain service connection:
Direct Service Connection
Secondary Service Connection
Presumptive Service Connection
Service Connection for an Aggravated, Pre-Existing Condition
Service Connection Caused by VA Treatment or Vocational Rehabilitation
Because there are five ways for a Veteran to be granted service connection, and because each has a distinct set of lengthy rules, finding an advocate in order to navigate VA’s claims process is vital.
