Physical Injuries & Chronic Conditions

The Lasting Toll of Service

Serving in the military is tough on the body. Long marches, heavy lifting, training accidents, and combat take a toll. Even years later, many veterans deal with constant pain or chronic conditions that interfere with daily life.

Unfortunately, the VA often dismisses these injuries as “normal aging.” But if your pain started during service or got worse because of service, you may qualify for benefits.

Common Physical Claims

  • Hearing Loss & Tinnitus – Constant ringing in the ears or loss of hearing from weapons, machinery, and explosions.
  • Back & Neck Pain – From heavy gear, parachute jumps, or accidents.
  • Knee & Joint Injuries – Pain that makes walking, running, or standing difficult.
  • Secondary Conditions – Problems that arise because of another service-connected condition (for example, hip pain caused by a bad knee).

Why Veterans Struggle With These Claims

Physical injuries may not always be documented properly in service records. Many veterans were told to “shake it off” and didn’t seek treatment right away. But that doesn’t mean the injury isn’t real or connected to service.

Why It Matters

Living with pain isn’t just uncomfortable—it can limit your ability to work, enjoy family life, or simply do the things you love. You shouldn’t have to just accept it without support.
