Hot Weather Injuries & VA Disability: What Veterans Need to Know

Extreme heat isn’t just uncomfortable—it can be dangerous, especially for veterans who served in hot climates or during physically demanding deployments. In this episode, we break down how hot weather-related injuries like heat stroke, heat exhaustion, dehydration, and rhabdomyolysis can lead to lasting health conditions—and how they may qualify for VA disability compensation.

We also explore the connection between heat injuries and other service-connected conditions such as kidney damage, cardiovascular issues, and chronic fatigue. If you've experienced heat-related trauma in service or now suffer from long-term effects, this episode explains how to build a strong claim and what documentation the VA looks for.

📌 Topics Covered:

  • Common hot weather injuries experienced by service members
  • How the VA evaluates heat-related conditions for disability ratings
  • Chronic effects of heat stroke and rhabdomyolysis
  • Linking kidney, heart, and muscle issues to heat exposure
  • What medical evidence strengthens your VA claim
  • Tips for navigating VA C&P exams for heat-related conditions
  • How to file a secondary service connection for related issues
  • How climate and location can factor into your VA case
