0 pwrslm Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 (edited) Is this what you are asking about? You may be eligible for disability benefits if you have a disability that’s related to your service (called a service-connected disability) and that includes at least one of the conditions listed below. At least one of these must be true for you. You have: Loss, or permanent loss of use, of 1 or both feet, or Loss, or permanent loss of use, of 1 or both hands, or Permanent decreased vision in both eyes: 20/200 vision or less in your better eye with glasses, or greater than 20/200 vision but with a visual field defect that has reduced your peripheral vision to 20 degrees or less in your better eye, or A severe burn injury, or Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), or Ankylosis in 1 or both knees or hips (Note: This qualifies you for an adaptive-equipment grant only) https://www.va.gov/disability/eligibility/special-claims/automobile-allowance-adaptive-equipment/ Alternatively; Parkinson's info here;https://www.apdaparkinson.org/wp-content/uploads/pdf_publications/Helping-Those-Who-Serve-Parkinsons-Disease-Information-For-_Tg.pdf Edited September 12, 2021 by pwrslm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 pwrslm Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 Also, info on claims appealed can be searched for here:https://www.index.va.gov/search/va/bva_search.jsp?QT=&EW=parkinson's&AT=&ET=&RPP=10&DB=2021&DB=2020&DB=2019&DB=2018 This tool helps you find cases that went through appeals. Knowing what worked or did not work will give you and a jump on a claim for parkinsons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
