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 chronic fatigue syndrome is service-connected and it causes or worsens migraines, you can file Migraines as a secondary claim. The VA requires a medical nexus linking the two conditions.
