KNEE AND JOINT PAIN BENEFITS FOR VETERANS

Connecting Knee and Joint Pain to your Service

There are several ways a veteran might be able to connect their knee or joint pain to their time in the service including any of the following:

A Direct Service Connection

Establishing a direct connection to your service requires the following:

• An event during your service, like an injury or illness
• A current and diagnosed knee condition
• A medical condition directly related to something that happened while you were in the service

As an example; you were in a pickup game while serving on active duty and you fell and hit your knee. Following your service your knee is painful and you require physical therapy or even a joint replacement. Since your injury occurred during your service, there are benefits available to help you cover these costs.

As a veteran, you earned the benefits and coverage during your service to our country. You should take advantage of them and ensure your health and your future.
