We mapped the VA disability conditions most frequently associated with each U.S. military occupation across 1,212 MOS, AFSC, Rate, NEC, and SFSC profiles. The most broadly-mapped condition is Neck Strain (Cervical Spine), appearing in roughly 92% of all military jobs — followed by GERD, depression, tinnitus, and lumbar (back) strain. Musculoskeletal, mental-health, and auditory conditions dominate across every branch.

ClaimRecon maintains structured profiles for 1,212 U.S. military occupations. Each profile carries a set of mapped conditions— the VA disability conditions most commonly associated with that job's exposure and duty profile, derived from branch career references, 38 C.F.R. Parts 3 & 4 rating doctrine, and VA public-health / toxic-exposure sources. We counted how many occupations map to each condition, overall and within each branch. Figures describe condition-to-occupation association — not VA grant rates or individual eligibility, which depend on a current diagnosis, an in-service nexus, and rating criteria under 38 C.F.R.
