Secondary Conditions Finder
What conditions are commonly secondary to yours?
Search by your service-connected condition. See what conditions are medically recognized as secondary under 38 CFR § 3.310, the evidence you need, and the medical rationale behind each connection.
Secondary service connection (38 CFR § 3.310) allows a veteran to receive compensation for a condition that was proximately caused by or aggravated beyond natural progression by a service-connected disability. A nexus letter from a qualified medical provider is required. This tool describes the medical framework — not the claim strategy.
