Veterans with ALS can find information about service-connected benefits on the Veterans Administration website: www.va.gov.

Thanks to the efforts of Department of Veterans Affairs, ALS has been listed as a disease entitled to presumptive service connection since 2008. This means that if a service member is diagnosed with ALS his or her condition will be presumed to have occurred during or been aggravated by military service and as such be entitled to service connection and full benefits. (See www.va.gov for more details.)
