Establishing a Service Connection for COPD and Related Conditions
To qualify for VA disability benefits, veterans must demonstrate that their respiratory condition is connected to their time in service. Survivor Sources Inc. helps veterans in Hyattsville, MD gather the necessary information to support their claim, including:
- A current diagnosis of COPD, bronchitis, asthma, emphysema, or allergic rhinitis
- Military service records that show exposure to environmental hazards, burn pits, or toxic chemicals
- A medical opinion linking your respiratory condition to your military service
Even if your condition developed years after discharge, we can help you explore secondary service connection options or appeal past denials.
What if the VA denied my claim for a respiratory condition?
If your claim for COPD, asthma, or sinus-related conditions was denied, you're not alone. Many veterans receive denials due to lack of documentation, unclear service connections, or incomplete applications. Survivor Sources Inc. can review your denial letter, help you understand what was missing, and assist with building a stronger case for appeal.

How do I know if my breathing condition qualifies for VA benefits?
If your breathing problems started during or after your service and limit your ability to function in daily life, there’s a good chance you may qualify. COPD and other respiratory conditions can be tied to environmental exposures common during military service, including:
- Burn pits
- Dust and sand inhalation
- Toxic fumes
- Cold weather or chemical exposure
Even if you're not sure when the symptoms began, our team can help you trace your medical history and determine eligibility.
Understanding VA Ratings for COPD and Respiratory Conditions
The VA assigns disability ratings for respiratory conditions based on severity and how much your symptoms affect your daily activities. Ratings are determined using results from pulmonary function tests (PFTs) and can range from 10% to 100%. Conditions such as allergic rhinitis or chronic sinusitis may receive lower ratings unless they are severe or unresponsive to treatment.
We help ensure that all your symptoms and limitations are clearly documented so that your rating reflects the full impact of your condition.
Can Survivor Sources help if I have multiple conditions like asthma and sinus problems?
Yes. Many veterans suffer from multiple respiratory conditions, and each may affect your rating. We help you understand how to file for combined ratings, ensure no diagnosis is overlooked, and present the strongest case possible. Whether you're managing asthma, allergic rhinitis, or chronic bronchitis, we ensure your care and compensation needs are fully addressed.
