Scars and Service-Connected Disabilities Affecting the Skin
At The Rep For Vets™, we represent veterans with service-connected disabilities affecting the skin, including scars, infections, cancer and eczema. If a skin disease keeps you from doing the things you once enjoyed, you should know that you have options. You may be eligible for VA disability compensation benefits or other types of support that can help you and your family.
The advocates at The Rep For Vets™ can help you get this compensation. We are dedicated to helping military veterans throughout the United States get the resources they need. As a group of professional Americans who are proud of the men and women who kept us safe, we don't like to see vets get pushed around. We refuse to forget what you've given to us. And we want to give something back to you. We promise to serve you as honorably as you have served us and our country.
When you work with us, you'll find advocates who are experts in dealing with skin diseases and other types of disabilities here, along with administrative assistants and clerks. You'll find experts who know a great deal about the process of applying for veterans disability compensation, or for appealing a claim that has been denied.
Eczema and Inflammatory Skin Diseases
We commonly handle claims on behalf of military veterans suffering with eczema. The term eczema actually applies to a broad range of chronic skin disorders that involves inflammation of the epidermis. Eczema sufferers often experience scaly and itchy rashes, characterized by itching, cracking, oozing or bleeding.
Military veterans who suffer from eczema are often treated with drugs, like high-strength steroids and drugs acting on the immune system, which may have certain side effects.
Psoriasis
Psoriasis is a long-term skin problem that causes skin cells to grow too quickly. Instead of taking weeks to reach the surface of the skin, new cells take only days, which results in thick, white, silvery or red patches of skin.
Experts believe that psoriasis is caused by overreaction of the immune system, causing inflammation and flaking skin.
Scars
Many veterans are eligible for service-connected compensation for scars related to injuries or illnesses sustained during military service. The percentage rating relates to the placement and size of the scar.
