We explain how the VA rates service-connected arthritis and how you could receive additional compensation for secondary conditions.
VA Rating for Chronic Pain
VA ratings for chronic pain are based on symptoms or other conditions caused by your pain. Veterans who can’t work can also receive VA unemployability benefits if their ratings are at a certain level.
VA Disability for Torn Rotator Cuff
The VA considers range of motion and which arm is affected when issuing a VA rating for a rotator cuff tear. The injury can lead to other problems with additional VA ratings.
VA Disability for Fibromyalgia
Veterans, particularly Gulf War veterans, with fibromyalgia caused or aggravated by their service may qualify for monthly disability compensation.
VA Dental Disability Benefits
The VA does not rate all dental problems, but there are many they do. Many are service-connected as secondary conditions.
