Can You File a Secondary VA Disability Claim Without a Service-Connected Primary Condition?
Secondary service connection is one of the most misunderstood areas of VA disability law. Many veterans know they have a condition that may be related to another disability, but they are unsure whether they can pursue it before the primary condition is service connected. In this Flash Training, you'll learn how secondary service connection works and why the primary disability is an important part of the process.
Educational Disclaimer: This video is for educational purposes only. It is not legal or medical advice. Every VA disability claim is decided based on the individual facts, applicable laws, regulations, and evidence. Filing a claim for a secondary condition does not guarantee service connection or entitlement to benefits.
