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 shoulder impingement is service-connected and it causes or worsens rotator cuff tendonitis, you can file Rotator cuff tendonitis as a secondary claim. The VA requires a medical nexus linking the two conditions.
