FOR THE VETERAN OF THE VETERAN SHARE OF THE DAY
Today I’m explaining the Top 5 Secondary Conditions to PTSD for VA disability benefits utilizing the legal and medical requirements for secondary service connection.
This is the ultimate guide for veterans searching for VA secondary conditions to PTSD!
According to the 2019-2020 Veterans Benefits Administration (VBA) report to congress, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is the #4 most claimed VA disability with 1,118,041 disabled veterans with a service-connected PTSD rating.
While the average VA rating for PTSD is 70%, making it a high-value VA claim, did you know there are five OTHER high-value VA disability claims (rated at 30% or above) that can be medically linked through “aggravation” and claimed secondary to your service-connected PTSD?
In our experience, many veterans don’t even realize they qualify for a variety of additional VA disability benefits due to their current service-connected PTSD.
Why?
Because veterans aren’t medical experts (nor should they be), and yet, VA disability claims depend almost entirely upon MEDICAL EVIDENCE!
PTSD can have significant debilitating effects on veterans, especially due to the side effects of medications taken to manage your PTSD symptoms, often leading to a variety of other disabling conditions in veterans such as Sleep Apnea, Headaches, GERD, IBS, Erectile Dysfunction, and Female Sexual Arousal Disorder.
Okay, it’s time to jump into the main disability conditions causally linked to be proximately due to or aggravated by service-connected PTSD.
