What criteria is needed to classify you as a disabled veteran? In my case I have MS which was diagnosed after I was in service. Can I still say I am a disabled veteran? Or do you have to have a service-connected problem to say you are a disabled veteran?

A1:  I am disabled from a stroke, not service related, when I asked this same question, I was told it had to be service related to qualify for VA disability. I applied for ssi disability and I qualified.  (DM)  6/18/19

A2:  If your MS was diagnosed while you were in service, and it is documented in your Military Medical Records, it should be service-connected. Have you filed a claim with the VA for it?  (DJ)  6/18/19
