About this listen

 Becoming service-connected is a major milestone, but it's just the beginning of understanding what benefits, responsibilities, and long-term support are now available to you. In this episode, Tim Woods, 23-year vet, and Anthony Boyd, 9-year vet, walk you through what happens after you receive your service-connected rating — from healthcare access and ongoing treatment to managing your disability over time.

They break down what to expect with regular check-ins, follow-up appointments, and why staying consistent with your medical care is essential. You'll also learn what "No Future Exams" means, when it applies, and why some conditions are considered static or unlikely to improve based on age or long-term progression.

This episode is a little shorter as it solely focuses on helping veterans understand how to manage their condition after becoming service-connected while staying informed, proactive, and confident about the benefits they've earned.
