What Is Continuity of Symptoms? (VA Standard Explained)

Category:

You had symptoms in service—and you still have them now. But the VA may deny your claim if it cannot see that they continued. Continuity of symptoms means your condition shows a pattern over time from service to the present. It connects: • What happened in service • To what you experience now Under 38 CFR §3.303(b), continuity can help support service connection when the record shows ongoing symptoms. The VA is not just looking for a starting point. It is looking for a consistent timeline.
