What is a Disability?
Understanding the Full Picture
When most people think of a disability, they picture something they can see, like someone using a wheelchair or walking with a cane. That’s certainly one kind of disability. But it’s far from the only one.
At Life Change, we know that not all wounds are visible. Some of the deepest struggles are hidden beneath the surface—unseen but very real.
Visible Disabilities Are Only Part of the Story
A physical disability may be obvious: limited mobility, chronic pain, a visible injury. These are disabilities you can point to and explain.
But what about the invisible disabilities?
- The nightmares that make sleep unbearable.
- The anxiety that builds for no clear reason and spirals out of control.
- The rage or fear that surfaces without warning.
- The moments of dissociation, where everything blanks out for a while, and you “come to” unsure how you got there.
These are mental health disabilities, and they can be just as life-altering as any physical injury. Many Veterans carry them every day—and many never get the recognition or help they deserve.
Our Approach: Engineered. Systematic. Veteran-Focused.
At Life Change, we’ve built an engineered VA disability claims process to ensure every Veteran’s experience is heard, seen, and validated. Whether your disabilities are physical, psychological, or both, we use a structured, evidence-based approach to build strong claims that lead to real results.
Our consultants are Veterans themselves. We understand. We’ve lived it.
We help you:
Identify primary and secondary disabilities.
Collect the right evidence—from medical records to buddy statements.
Navigate the VA claims system step by step, with support and clarity.
We believe every Veteran deserves the chance to be heard and helped.
We believe disabilities—seen or unseen—matter.
