Veterans are more likely to experience migraines than non-Veterans, according to VA studies. Service members who were deployed in recent conflicts in the Middle East have been hit particularly hard. Of U.S. Veterans who served a one-year deployment to Iraq more than one-third were diagnosed with or showed signs of migraine headaches.
Do You Suffer from Debilitating Migraine Symptoms?
Migraine headaches differ from egular headaches because they are often accompanied by debilitating symptoms, including intense pounding in one area of the head, nausea, vomiting and severe sensitivity to sound or light. They can severely impact a Veteran’s life every day.
The VA recognizes that migraines can be a compensable disability — eligible for monthly benefits. If you’re a Veteran coping with migraine headaches which are service connected, that is they were caused or made worse from your time in the military, you may qualify for VA disability benefits. It is likely that if you file a disability claim for your migraine headaches the VA will require that you undergo a Compensation and Pension (C&P) exam.
Don’t Stressed; Be Prepared
Considering that a Compensation and Pension (C&P) Exam may be the number one most important exam in any Veteran’s life, it is normal to be a bit stressed about the exam. But if you are required to submit to a C&P exam for an orthopedic condition, don’t panic, just be properly prepared for the exam. And this is the book that will get you ready.
