FAQs About Alaska VA Disability Benefits
Are you a veteran who lives and works in Alaska? Do you have questions about your VA disability benefits?

Am I Eligible for VA Disability Benefits in Alaska?
Alaskan veterans want to know if they are eligible for VA disability benefits. It is the first question that many veterans ask when they contact VA Benefits Attorneys for a case review and we are happy to help. For veterans to be eligible, they must first meet TWO primary criteria – they must have a current injury, illness, or medical condition that affects the mind or body AND they must have served on active duty, active duty for training, or inactive duty for training in the U.S. Military.
The veteran’s service-connected injury, illness, or medical condition must ALSO fit into one of the disability claims categories listed below.
- In-Service Disability Claim – The veteran has an injury, illness, or medical condition that was diagnosed while the veteran was currently serving in the military and is directly related to their military service.
- Pre-Service Disability Claim – The veteran had an injury, illness, or medical condition that was diagnosed prior to their military service that was made worse due to their years of military service.
- Post-Service Disability Claim – The veteran has an injury, illness, or medical condition that was diagnosed after their military service that can be directly connected to their years of military service.
What Are the Additional VA Benefits for Alaska Veterans?
Alaskan veterans – and many more across the United States – rely on the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs for support when they return home after the military. Disability compensation grabs the majority of the headlines when it comes to the Department of Veterans Affairs, but it is not the only benefit the VA provides. Veterans can start a new life with the help of affordable VA Home Loans that are used by just 6% of veterans. Veterans who want to continue their education may be eligible for tuition assistance via the G.I. Bill. Affordable insurance and medical care at VA facilities are additional benefits that veterans can take advantage of in Alaska and across the country.

We understand that a denied disability claim can be frustrating – but you are not alone and VA Benefits Attorneys is here to help you appeal the decision. Denied VA disability claims can be appealed by three primary methods – a Supplemental Claim, a Higher-Level Review, or a Board Appeal.
