Do I already have a service-connected disability?
(RESOLVED)
I had submitted an intent to file earlier this month, and then applied for VA healthcare a few weeks later. Is the wording they’re using telling me I DO have a service-connected disability, just with a rating of zero? Or is this the standard message for anyone not receiving disability compensation?
I’m just wondering because I thought I’d be starting from zero with them and if they’re already aware of/acknowledging the service connection for any of my disabilities that would obviously make my process a lot smoother.
Thanks for the help in advance and sorry if this is a stupid question!
