those types of things can be service-related Dental Insurance Maine disabilities okay presumptive conditions I mentioned our Vietnam veterans a couple of times now but now that we have the exposure of the contaminated water at Marine Corps.
Base Camp Jejune these are presumptive disabilities what that really means is the one component to prove that the service would have caused an issue goes away because the VA and the public health administration has already determined that if a veteran that served in any of these special category areas.
if they're ever diagnosed with these Dental Insurance Maine conditions that piece of it is gone now becomes a presumptive condition so it's been diagnosed we can prove that the veteran served in any of these areas it now becomes a disability based on its severity okay and there's a laundry list for both.
these categories but I want to share something with you I didn't put a highlight on this but if you look at number three Lou Gehrig's disease or ALS any military veterans serving at least days on active service if you get diagnosed
it is a disability the remainder of your life there's no cure for that the study came out only about five six years ago that there was a higher percentage of veterans being diagnosed with ALS than it was any other segment of the population okay I have to figure out why that was I haven't sat down and read the entire regulation
