Service-related presumptions
This is when a condition or death is automatically service-related because it is clearly related to a qualifying operation.
You'll need to have Qualifying Operational Service and the:
- condition — or death — happened during Qualifying Operational Service
- condition was aggravated during Qualifying Operational Service — but was recorded before in service medical records
- condition was aggravated during Qualifying Operational Service — but the veteran had it before without realising.
All of these would need to be clearly shown in your service medical records.
