How secondary service connection works

Three elements drive the path.

1. Primary condition

You already have a service-connected disability in place.

2. Secondary diagnosis

You now carry a diagnosed condition caused or aggravated by that primary disability.

3. Medical nexus

A medical opinion links the secondary condition back to the primary or shows aggravation.

Step 3

Secondary intelligence grid

Start with the primary.

Pick a service-connected condition from the left panel. This grid will populate with secondary paths, strength signals, diagnostic codes, typical rating bands, and modeled monthly upside.

Next actions

Take the path further.

Once you identify likely secondary paths, move into research, evidence prep, and file review with the rest of the platform. This page should be the start of the chain, not the end of it.
