Secondary conditions for Epilepsy / seizure disorder
There are 5 secondary conditions linked to Epilepsy / seizure disorder that may qualify for VA disability compensation. If you have a service-connected rating for epilepsy / seizure disorder, these conditions could be filed as secondary claims to increase your combined disability rating.
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 epilepsy / seizure disorder is service-connected and it causes or worsens cognitive impairment, you can file Cognitive impairment as a secondary claim. The VA requires a medical nexus linking the two conditions.
