Many Veterans are prescribed medications for Service Connected Disabilities.

Maybe you're taking certain medications for Depression, PTSD or any other mental health issues. Or, maybe you're taking various types of Pain Medications.

It is no secret that these medications come with a whole list of potential side effects.

Self diagnosing yourself is not going to win you the compensation that you deserve.

If you file a claim for Irritable Bowel Syndrome because YOU BELIEVE that you have it, surely your claim will be denied.

The VA requires MEDICAL EVIDENCE. You have to have a Diagnosis from a licensed Doctor to win these claims!

38 CFR 3.310 B states that Veterans can receive compensation for Non-Service Connected illnesses and injuries that are PROXIMATELY the result of Service Connected Disease or Injury.

This ABSOLUTELY includes side effects to medications.

WHAT ARE SOME COMMON SIDE EFFECTS?

Some examples of side effects from medications include, but are not limited to the following:

-Erectile Dysfunction
-Decreased Sex Drive
-Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)
-GERD
-Headaches/Migraines
-Diarrhea/Constipation

If you have any of these or are having other side effects from medications that you are taking these CAN be filed as Secondary Service Connected Disabilities!

PRO TIP I encourage you to grab your prescriptions that you are currently prescribed and look up there side effects. If you have any of them, you can file claims for them!

WHAT IS NEEDED TO WIN THESE SECONDARY CLAIMS?

1) Current Diagnosis - GET YOUR BUTT TO THE DOCTOR!

2) NEXUS - The Nexus Letter

3) Re-Occurring Symptoms - You need to show how your symptoms are affecting you're everyday life.

If you would like more information on side effects from medications and whether or not yours are due to your medication, speak to a member of the VA Claims Insider Medical Team.

If you have potential Secondary Service Connections in your Medical Records, the Med Team WILL find them.
