So please tell me,...... since when does an illness or injury have to be combat related? This has been going on ever since i joined the army. There is no exact known cause, but they say it can be caused by many things....stress, family inheritation, fungi ect. Point is, i dont want to be a bald woman at the age of 24 and i have never ever dreamed of my hair falling out. So what you are telling me is if a person has surgery for a broken bone ,non conbat related, he gets it taken care of by VA, but, if i developed this disease that causes hair to fall out , its ok.This is a disease that may never go away. Right!

Hi there, Im about to get out of the Army and wanna apply for my VA soon. I have been diagnosed with Alopecia Areata and Im wondering if I will get paid for it if i claim it on my VA. I hope someone can help me out. Thanks in advance Annchez
