What You Need To Show The VA To Receive A Higher Rating For Neck & Back Disabilities?

Getting service-connected for back pain can be a pain in the neck, literally!
Many veterans have gone to the VA with back injuries and neck pain only to be denied a service connection and therefore denied VA disability benefits. We know, because we’ve helped them win their appeals.
Part of showing the VA that you deserve a disability rating is showing how your condition affects your daily life.
In this video, one of our certified VA disability lawyers explains how the VA rates neck and back pain. She explains how your complete health story plays into your VA decision and how to make sure the VA gives you a fair hearing.
