***How a 10% Tinnitus VA Rating Can Get You to 90% Combined!***

According to the Veterans Benefits Administration, Tinnitus, aka “Ringing in the Ear Syndrome,” is the #1 most claimed VA disability with 1,971,201 disabled veterans with a service-connected Tinnitus rating of 10%.

While Tinnitus is only rated at 10%, making it a low-value VA claim, did you know there are 5 high-value VA disability claims (rated at 30% or above) that can be medically linked to Tinnitus?

In our experience, many veteran service officers, attorneys, claims agents, and veterans don’t even realize they qualify for a variety of additional VA disability benefits due to their current service-connected Tinnitus condition.

Why? Because they aren’t medical experts, and yet, VA disability claims depend almost entirely upon MEDICAL EVIDENCE!

Tinnitus can have significant debilitating effects on veterans, often leading to a variety of other disabling conditions in veterans such as headaches, insomnia, anxiety, depression, chronic pain syndrome, and sleep apnea, among others.

Okay, it’s time to jump into the main disability conditions causally linked to be proximately due to, or aggravated by, service-connected Tinnitus.

How to Establish Service Connection Secondary to Tinnitus

In accordance with 38 CFR § 3.310 disabilities that are proximately due to, or aggravated by, service-connected disease or injury, a current disability condition, which is proximately due to or the result of a service-connected disease or injury shall be service connected.

Service connection on a secondary basis requires a showing of causation. A showing of causation requires that the secondary disability claim be shown to be “proximately due to” or “aggravated by” another service-connected disability. There are three evidentiary elements that must be satisfied for secondary conditions to Tinnitus to prove service connection under the law:

💥 A medical diagnosis of the secondary disability condition you want to link to Tinnitus AND

💥 A current service-connected primary disability (e.g., your current VA Tinnitus rating) AND

💥 Medical nexus evidence establishing a connection between the service-connected Tinnitus and the current disability you’re trying to connect (e.g., Migraines, Anxiety, Depression, Somatic Symptom Disorder, Sleep Apnea)

- The first part can be satisfied with any existing medical evidence in-service treatment records, VA medical records, or any private medical records.

- The second part can be satisfied with a veteran’s existing service-connected disability rated at 0 percent or higher, which in this case, is Tinnitus.

- The third part, and often the missing link needed to establish a secondary service connection, can be satisfied with a credible medical nexus letter (Independent Medical Opinion) from a qualified medical provider.
