ALS VA Benefits
On September 23rd 2008, the Department of Veterans Affairs declared Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) as a “presumptively compensable illness,” meaning that it is now considered a service-related disease. This new regulation will grant military veterans diagnosed with ALS full access to VA health and disability benefits, regardless of where or when they served in the military. For more information on the VA’s disability compensation program, go to www.va.gov or contact 1-800-827-1000.
