VA Disability Benefits for Back Injuries & Pain

Living with debilitating back injuries and chronic back pain is one of the toughest physical conditions to live with after service. If you have service-connected back injuries or pain from repeated heavy lifting, rigorous training exercises, uncomfortable vehicles, and combat situations, you may qualify for VA disability benefits. UVBA helps you understand your eligibility and guide you through the claims process. Many of these injuries become lifelong conditions that worsen over time and begin to have an even greater impact on everyday life for Veterans. UVBA supports Veterans filing for VA disability benefits for back injuries and pain by compiling medical records and support documentation that create a strong claim and receive maximum compensation.

Symptoms & Challenges of Back Injuries for Veterans
Chronic Back Pain

Back injuries have a habit of lingering, and chronic back pain is one of the most common complaints of Veterans filing for VA disability benefits or a VA disability rating increase.

Reduced Mobility & Flexibility

Back pain restricts Veterans from having a full range of movement with normal flexibility, making certain daily or employment-linked physical tasks difficult or impossible to complete. 

Secondary Conditions

Secondary conditions like nerve pain, headaches, and sciatica issues frequently arise for Veterans suffering from back pain and are viable reasons to file for a VA rating increase.

Employment Challenges

The chronic pain and mobility limitations associated with back injuries prevent Veterans from holding full-time employment in jobs that require lifting, bending, and standing for long hours.

Frequently Asked Questions About Back Pain Disability Benefits
How does the VA rate back injuries, chronic back pain, or spinal conditions?

The VA will rate back injuries based on pain levels, mobility limitations, and how these conditions may impact daily life on a sliding scale.

What evidence or documentation supports a strong disability claim for back pain? 

Any medical documentation before, during, or after military service that provides a clear timeline of when the injury occurred or symptoms presented is critical in building a strong claim. Additional supportive buddy statements from fellow service members, close friends, and family members are also helpful.

What if my back injury or back pain becomes worse over time?

It is common for back injuries or back pain to become worse over time. UVBA has a 90% client success rate and an average 30% increase in rating in cases where Veterans reapply for increased VA disability ratings. 

Can back injuries or pain also have secondary conditions?

Headaches, nerve pain, and sleep disorders may all qualify as secondary conditions to back pain capable of increasing disability rating. Additionally, back pain in itself may be a secondary condition.
