VA Disability — Neurological
VA disability ratings for TBI residuals, radiculopathy, peripheral neuropathy, multiple sclerosis, epilepsy, Parkinson's disease, ALS, and neurological conditions caused by military service.
Neurological conditions represent some of the most complex and high-value VA claims. TBI residuals, radiculopathy secondary to service-connected back and neck conditions, and nerve damage from combat injuries affect hundreds of thousands of veterans. Peripheral nerve conditions are rated on the degree of motor and sensory loss — from incomplete to complete paralysis. Central nervous system conditions are evaluated through neuropsychological testing and functional assessment. Veterans with TBI should proactively claim all secondary conditions including PTSD, sleep disorders, hormonal dysfunction, headaches, and cognitive impairment.
