Tyrone Hewitt, a veteran who helps military professionals understand the VA complex processes, recently posted this LinkedIn post about the need to review and effectively complete the Separation Health Assessment to obtain disability benefits.

“The SHA isn’t just paperwork….it’s one of the most important documents tied to your future VA disability claim.” Hewitt recently posted on LinkedIn.

Here is how this form can help a veteran who has a scheduled departure date.

Per Hewitt, here are four key points.

✅ Understand what to list and why it matters.

✅ Properly document symptoms you may have normalized over years of service.

✅ Use accurate language that aligns with VA disability criteria.

✅ Avoid leaving out conditions that could impact your rating later.
