What is a secondary VA disability claim?
A secondary condition is a disability caused or aggravated by a condition you are already service-connected for. For example, if allergic rhinitis is service-connected and it causes or worsens sinusitis, you can file Sinusitis as a secondary claim. The VA requires a medical nexus linking the two conditions.
