Korean War: Effects of Frostbite
Veterans who fought in the Korean War experienced extreme cold-weather conditions that caused severe frostbite of the extremities. Veterans, decades later, are still suffering the after effects of frostbite. The Veterans Administration considers the organic residual effects of frostbite to be service-connected.
Apply for Benefits with an Alpha Advocate – Vets Helping Vets
If you think you have a condition that qualifies for Veterans Disability Compensation, the Alpha team can help you get started with your initial application to the VA.
If you do not receive a fully favorable decision from the VA, or you disagree with the percentage given to your disability, we can help you appeal for more.
It can take months, in many cases, years, for the VA to grant benefits. If you think you have a service-connected disability, or need help to prove that you do, the Alpha team is ready to help you.
Contact us to get started on your claim.
Note: All representation coordinated by Alpha is provided by our employees, the Advocates, who are accredited by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). No private organization that trains and employs accredited agents has been legally recognized by the VA for the purposes of preparation, presentation, and prosecution of claims. This work must be done by the Advocates themselves and not organizations.
Michael,
Many VSO’s will discourage the filing of IU based on the position that the veteran doesn’t meet the scheduled criteria for entitlement. That’s inconsistent with the spirit of the VA law. If you feel you are unable to work due to service connected disabilities, you should complete the application for IU. If you would like assistance with filing your claim, please feel free to contact us at 877-611-7724. Good Luck.
