| Discuss on Reddit

Your MOS/AFSC/Rate is evidence hiding in plain sight. Pull your DD-214 and cross-reference your military job code with conditions commonly granted for that specialty. Infantry? Hearing loss, tinnitus, knee problems are slam dunks. Aircraft maintainer? Respiratory conditions and hearing issues. Supply? Back injuries from lifting. Today, write a statement connecting your daily military duties to your claimed conditions - VA can't ignore the occupational hazards built into your job code when you spell it out for them.
