## **VA Disability Benefits for Veterans with Parkinson’s**

Veterans diagnosed with **Parkinson’s disease** may qualify for VA disability compensation if their condition is connected to military service. Parkinson’s is a progressive neurological disorder that can significantly affect movement, balance, speech, coordination, and the ability to work.

In some cases, Parkinson’s may qualify for **presumptive service connection**, meaning veterans do not have to prove direct causation if they served in qualifying locations or were exposed to recognized toxins. In other cases, service connection must be supported through medical evidence and a nexus opinion.

Whether you are filing an initial claim, seeking a higher rating, or appealing a denial, we work to build strong evidence and pursue the full benefits you earned through military service.
