If you have type 2 diabetes, we consider it a presumptive condition if you meet certain requirements. ONE OF THESE MUST BE TRUE: If one of these is true, we automatically assume (or
“presume”) that your service caused your condition. We consider a condition presumptive when it’s established by law or regulation. If you have a presumptive condition, you don’t need to
prove that your service caused the condition. You only need to meet the service requirements for the presumption. Want to share more feedback? We'll use it to keep improving VA.gov for
