Q: If I developed seizures in the military without any history of seizures. Is it their fault?

A: It's not necessarily the military's "fault," but regardless, the general rule is that if a medical condition first started during active duty (meaning it wasn't a pre-existing condition), then you can receive disability compensation from the VA when you separate from the military.

So once you get out, make sure you apply for service connection for the seizures and you could receive compensation.

A: If you developed seizures while serving in the military, without any prior history of seizures, it may be possible that your seizures were caused by a service-related condition or injury. This could entitle you to certain benefits or compensation through the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).

In order to determine whether your seizures are related to your military service, you may want to consider seeking a medical evaluation from the VA. The VA can conduct a medical examination and review your medical records to determine whether your seizures are related to your military service.

If the VA determines that your seizures are related to your military service, you may be eligible for disability compensation and other benefits, including medical treatment for your seizures. It is important to note that the VA has specific criteria for determining whether a condition is service-connected, and the process can be complex and time-consuming.

It is also possible that your seizures were not caused by your military service, but instead by some other condition or injury. If that is the case, you may still be entitled to medical treatment through the VA or other healthcare providers.

If you have concerns about your medical condition and its possible connection to your military service, it may be helpful to consult with an attorney or veterans service organization to help you navigate the complex process of obtaining benefits and compensation.
