Subject: Statement in Support of Claim for Disability Compensation

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am writing to provide a personal statement in support of my claim for disability compensation due to injuries and conditions I sustained during my military service. My service number is SSN 123-45-6789, and I served in the United States [Branch] from [Service Start Date] to [Service End Date], including a deployment to [Location] from [Deployment Start Date] to [Deployment End Date].

During my deployment to [Location], I was involved in [describe the incident or conditions, e.g., “a vehicle rollover caused by an IED explosion”]. Despite immediate medical attention and subsequent treatments, I have experienced persistent symptoms and complications that have significantly impacted my quality of life.

The primary conditions for which I am seeking disability compensation are chronic lower back pain and PTSD, which are both directly related to my service. The chronic lower back pain results from the physical trauma of the [specific incident], while my PTSD symptoms have been diagnosed as a result of exposure to combat and the traumatic event mentioned.

Since my discharge, I have faced considerable challenges in my daily life due to these conditions. My back pain severely limits my mobility, making it difficult to perform basic tasks or remain seated for extended periods. This has not only affected my ability to find sustainable employment but also my personal life and well-being.

Additionally, my PTSD symptoms, including severe anxiety, flashbacks, and insomnia, have required ongoing psychological treatment and support. These mental health challenges have further compounded my difficulties, affecting my relationships and ability to engage in social activities.

I have sought continuous medical care for these conditions since my discharge, as documented in my medical records submitted alongside this claim. My healthcare providers have consistently indicated that my conditions are service-connected and have recommended applying for VA disability compensation.

I kindly request that my claim be reviewed with consideration of the significant impact these service-connected disabilities have on my life. I am committed to following any recommended treatment plans and engaging with VA services to improve my condition. However, the support and compensation from the VA would be instrumental in managing my health issues and enhancing my quality of life.

Thank you for your attention to my claim and for your service to veterans. I respectfully ask for a thorough and expedited review of my case. Please feel free to contact me at (555) 123-4567 or via email at [email protected] should you require any additional information or clarification.

Sincerely,

Camille Castaneda
