Pre-Existing Conditions Can Still Be Service-Connected (Here's How)

Category:

Had the condition before you joined? That does NOT automatically disqualify your claim. A pre-existing condition is something that existed before military service. But under 38 CFR Part 3, including §3.304 and §3.306, the VA may still grant service connection if that condition was aggravated by service. That means the condition permanently worsened beyond its natural progression during service. Temporary flare-ups are not enough. The worsening must be lasting.
