VET2VET is a non-profit educational project dedicated to assist veterans with adjustment to civilian lifestyle and to provide assistance in obtaining your VA and other available benefits you’ve earned.
STDs can be an embarrassing topic, especially if you contracted the sexually transmitted disease while you were in the service. But if that’s when you got it, you may be eligible for VA disability compensation.
In 2018, 4.7 million veterans, or about 25% of all veterans, received compensation due to a service-connected disability. The majority of these vets are from the post 9/11 generation. There are 833 conditions related to service that allow vets to claim disability. While it is controversial, STDs, or sexually transmitted diseases, are among those on the list.

#SE5E5 Presumption of Service Connection for Chronic Diseases
VA presumes that certain disabilities were caused by military service. This is because of the unique circumstances of a specific Veteran’s military service. If a presumed condition is diagnosed in a Veteran within a certain group, they can be awarded disability compensation.

#SE5E4 Migraines and Headaches
VA recognizes migraines as a service connected disability, so long as the veteran can prove a connection with military service. In other words, if the veteran can prove that the migraines began in service it is service connected. Another way is a secondary service connection. If the migraine relates to other service-connected conditions, then she may obtain service-connected disability for this condition.
Migraines can be debilitating, affecting your ability to work or complete daily tasks. If you’re a veteran whose migraines resulted from your time in the service, you may be eligible for VA disability benefits. Here’s what you should know.
