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 peripheral neuropathy is service-connected and it causes or worsens restless leg syndrome, you can file Restless leg syndrome as a secondary claim. The VA requires a medical nexus linking the two conditions.
