5 Of The Most Common Secondary Conditions To PTSD

PTSD frequently leads to other health problems, known as “secondary conditions,” which are directly caused or aggravated by the primary service-connected PTSD.

When applying for VA disability benefits, it is crucial to identify and include any secondary conditions, as they can impact your overall disability rating and compensation.

PTSD VA ratings are as follows from 0% to 100% with breaks at 10%, 30%, 50%, and 70%:

Here’s what you need to prove for a secondary service connection:

Diagnosis of the Secondary Condition: You must have a current medical diagnosis of the condition you’re trying to connect to PTSD (such as migraines, sleep apnea, GERD, IBS, or erectile dysfunction).
Service-Connected Primary Condition: You must already have a VA rating for PTSD, even if it’s as low as 0%.
Medical Nexus Evidence: There needs to be a clear link, or “nexus,” showing that the secondary condition is either caused by or aggravated by your PTSD. This connection is often established with a Nexus Letter from a qualified healthcare provider, who explains how your PTSD impacts the secondary condition.
