Tips for Musculoskeletal Diseases Claims

  • Document symptoms thoroughly - Include frequency, duration, and impact on daily activities
  • Get a nexus letter - Link your condition to your military service
  • Prepare for C&P exam - Know your diagnostic code's rating criteria beforehand
  • Claim secondary conditions - Many musculoskeletal diseases conditions cause or aggravate other disabilities

Remember: Secondary conditions are often overlooked but fully ratable. If one body part is wrecked, the parts compensating for it probably aren't far behind.
