About this episode
Congestive Heart Failure (CHF) is a serious, often life-altering condition that affects many veterans — sometimes as a result of exposure, stress, or secondary conditions from military service. In this episode, we break down how the VA rates heart failure , what evidence supports a strong claim, and how to prove service connection for heart conditions. Whether your CHF is linked to ischemic heart disease, hypertension, or another service-connected illness, this episode will help you understand your options and how to pursue the compensation you deserve.
