Secondary Conditions for Multiple sclerosis
There are 7 secondary conditions linked to Multiple sclerosis that may qualify for VA disability compensation. If you have a service-connected rating for multiple sclerosis, 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're already service-connected for. For example, if multiple sclerosis is service-connected and it causes or worsens fatigue, you can file Fatigue as a secondary claim. The VA requires a medical nexus linking the two conditions.
