What types of disabilities are covered by veterans disability law?

Veterans disability law in Alaska provides benefits to veterans who have disabilities that were caused or made worse by their service in the military. There are many different types of disabilities that are covered by veterans disability law. These include physical disabilities such as blindness, hearing impairments, mobility impairments, or amputations; mental disabilities such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), major depression, or anxiety; and diseases, like cancer, that can be attributed to service in the military. Additionally, veterans disability law recognizes some environmental and occupational illnesses as disabilities. For example, disabilities caused by exposure to hazardous materials during military service qualify for disability benefits. Furthermore, veterans may also be eligible for disability benefits if their job while in the military exposed them to a hazardous environment or activities that led to a disability. Finally, veterans disability law also covers disabilities that were aggravates or worsened by military service. For example, if a veteran has a pre-existing medical condition that was made worse as a result of their military service, they may be eligible for disability benefits. In short, veterans disability law covers a wide range of disabilities, ranging from physical impairments to psychological ones.
