Secondary conditions for Heart disease
There are 7 secondary conditions linked to Heart disease that may qualify for VA disability compensation. If you have a service-connected rating for heart disease, 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 heart disease is service-connected and it causes or worsens erectile dysfunction (ed), you can file Erectile dysfunction (ED) as a secondary claim. The VA requires a medical nexus linking the two conditions.
