Presumptive Conditions

A presumptive condition is a medical condition that the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) assumes to be directly related to a veteran's military service without requiring the veteran to provide evidence of a direct connection. This assumption is based on specific circumstances of service, such as location, time period, or exposure to certain hazards, making it easier for veterans to receive disability compensation.
