Help Applying for VA Disability Benefits

VA Disability Benefits for Other Injuries

Living with pain or illness that isn’t easily categorized or forced into a plain or simple classification can be even more challenging or frustrating to receive benefits or a fair rating for service-connected conditions. Many Veterans face lingering physical or medical issues that limit their ability to work, stay active, or enjoy the same quality of life they once had. The VA provides disability compensation for a wide range of injuries and illnesses beyond those mentioned on other pages, including digestive disorders, nerve conditions, respiratory problems, skin conditions, and musculoskeletal pain, provided that a strong service connection can be proven through medical or supporting documentation. At United Veteran Benefits Agency (UVBA), we understand that every Veteran’s situation is unique and deserves hard-earned financial compensation and benefits. Our team helps identify qualifying conditions, organize the necessary records, and file strong claims to ensure you receive the full VA benefits your service has earned.

Common Types of Injuries & Illnesses
Skin Conditions

Exposure to chemicals, fuels, solvents, and other irritants may result in skin conditions that qualify for VA disability benefits, such as eczema, psoriasis, and skin cancer. 

Respiratory Issues

Allergic rhinitis, sinusitis, sleep apnea, COPD, and mesothelioma are all valid respiratory illnesses that would qualify for VA disability benefits for Veterans. 

Neurological Conditions

While PTSD is the leading claim filed by Veterans, other neurological or nerve conditions include migraines, sciatica pain, traumatic brain injury (TBI), neuropathy, and radiculopathy.

Cardiovascular Issues

Commonly documented as secondary conditions to something more serious, hypertension, ischemic heart disease, and heart arrhythmia can qualify as other injuries for VA disability. 

How Can UVBA Help?

Helping Veterans with Disability Claims for Other Injuries

UVBA works closely with Veterans to ensure even less obvious or secondary injuries are included and fully supported in disability claims. Our team provides guidance on gathering medical records, securing buddy statements, and documenting daily challenges presented by this broad range of injuries and illnesses. By building complete claims, we increase Veterans’ chances of receiving the full compensation they’ve earned for cardiovascular, musculoskeletal, respiratory, nerve, and neurological conditions, among countless other disabilities. Whether a primary condition with strong service-connected evidence or a secondary condition that can be linked to an additional disability, UVBA can help provide step-by-step guidance to maximize the chances of receiving full compensation from the VA.

Frequently Asked Questions About Fair Ratings & Compensation for Other Injuries
Can multiple injuries, illnesses, or conditions be combined for a single claim?

Yes. The VA uses a combined ratings table to calculate how multiple disabilities affect your overall ability to work and function. As long as each condition can be supported with medical evidence and linked to your military service, you may qualify for combined VA disability compensation.

What if my injury or illness is not listed on other pages or on this page?

Yes. Even conditions considered minor can receive a VA disability rating. A 10% rating can still provide meaningful, long-term financial support for Veterans and their families.

Do minor injuries qualify for VA disability benefits?

Yes, even minor or insignificant injuries can qualify for VA disability benefits for Veterans. Even a 10% disability rating can provide valuable long-term financial support for Veterans and their dependents. 

My disability claim for another injury was denied. Now what?

UVBA’s experienced team helps Veterans strengthen denied claims through additional evidence, appeals, and documentation. Our goal is to secure a fair decision and ensure your final VA rating accurately reflects your service-related conditions.
