Secondary Conditions for Parkinson's Disease
There are 4 secondary conditions linked to Parkinson's Disease that may qualify for VA disability compensation. If you have a service-connected rating for parkinson's 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're already service-connected for. For example, if parkinson's 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.
