I need some information about making a VA affairs special claim.
Do you have a disability that is not currently listed on the site as being linked to military service?
No, I do not.
Has your disability been proven to have been the result of an illness or injury caused by your active duty service?
No, but my husband does.
My husband is recovering from surgery that has immobilized him. Is he eligible for benefits?
In your husband's case, he may qualify for temporary disability payments.
What about for the time he has spent in the hospital?
If your husband has spent time in a VA or VA-approved hospital, he may be eligible for benefits like disability payments.
He has only been out of the service for a year and due to his disability, we need immediate financial help. Is there any way we can get benefits faster?
Those who are in your situation may qualify for disability payments right away.
