Note sull'episodio

Secondary VA claims are one of the most underutilized parts of VA disability, but most veterans either don’t know which conditions can actually be secondary or have no idea how to prove the connection.

In this episode, I break down the basic strategy behind secondary service connection: diagnosis, causation vs. aggravation, proving the actual medical mechanism, and building a nexus that explains why the connection applies to YOU.

I also cover why simply showing that two conditions are medically associated isn’t enough, what makes a strong nexus opinion, and how you may be able to get one without paying thousands of dollars.
