Secondary VA claims are those filed for a secondary service-connected disability, or a disability that resulted from a condition that is already service-connected. Many Veterans overlook potential secondary claims, which can leave valuable VA back pay on the table. Secondary conditions, such as hypertension, depression or anxiety, and peripheral neuropathy, are common among veterans. Filing secondary claims can lead to a higher combined VA disability rating, meaning a veteran could receive more monthly disability compensation, as well as qualify for benefits like TDIU, from VA.
