Hypertension and Military Service

Описание: Accredited VA Disability Attorney, Melissa Alexander explains VA claims for hypertension.

Studies have shown around half of the U.S. population either has or is at risk for hypertension. Veterans are at an even higher risk.
So what exactly is hypertension?
What causes it?
How is it linked to military service?
And what is the VA’s response?

Hypertension, or high blood pressure, is common among veterans due to combat exposure and service-related injuries. Suppose you have high blood pressure related to your military service or in connection with another service-related condition. In that case, it’s essential to understand the VA ratings, so you can receive fair compensation.
