Establishing a Service Connection for Back, Neck & Spine Conditions
Musculoskeletal issues are among the most common VA claims, but they’re also commonly under-documented or denied. Survivor Sources Inc. helps you gather the documentation you need to establish a strong service connection for:
- Chronic back pain
- Herniated or bulging discs
- Sciatica (nerve compression)
- Lumbosacral strain or degenerative disc disease
- Neck pain or cervical spine injuries
Whether your condition is tied to combat, carrying heavy gear, training exercises, or service-related accidents, we work with you to present clear medical evidence and personal history linking your pain to your time in uniform.
What if I have an old back injury that’s gotten worse over time?
VA benefits aren't just for injuries that appear right after service. Many veterans develop worsening pain years later. If a previously service-connected injury has worsened or caused secondary conditions (like sciatica), you may qualify for a rating increase or additional compensation. Survivor Sources Inc. helps evaluate your full medical history and file for updated benefits based on your current condition.
How Survivor Sources Inc. Supports Veterans
Navigating the VA system alone can be confusing and frustrating — especially when you're living in daily pain. Survivor Sources Inc. provides compassionate, expert-level support at every step, including:
- Assistance with new VA claims and rating increases
- Appeals for denied back, neck, and nerve-related claims
- Coordination with specialists for physical evaluations
- Documentation of pain levels, range of motion, and mobility impact
- Guidance on combining ratings for multiple spinal conditions
Our diverse leadership includes professionals from the medical, legal, and veteran service fields. We bring clarity, compassion, and strength to your side.
How do I know if my back or neck pain qualifies for VA disability?
If your pain impacts your movement, ability to work, or daily functioning — and can be connected to your military service — you may be eligible for VA benefits. Common qualifying situations include:
- Injuries during training or combat
- Repetitive physical strain or heavy lifting
- Falls, accidents, or vehicle crashes
- Degenerative conditions developed over time
Survivor Sources Inc. can help you determine eligibility and build a strong, clear case.
Understanding VA Ratings for Back & Spine Conditions
The VA rates back, neck, and nerve-related conditions based on:
- Limited range of motion
- Frequency and intensity of flare-ups
- Evidence of spinal nerve impingement or radiculopathy (like sciatica)
- Functional loss or inability to perform daily tasks
Ratings can range from 10% to 100%, depending on severity. Some conditions, like lumbosacral strain, may also be rated in combination with neurological symptoms, including radiating leg pain or numbness. We help ensure your pain is accurately reflected in your claim.
Can Survivor Sources help if I’ve already been rated for back pain?
Yes. Many veterans receive an initial rating that doesn’t reflect the full extent of their limitations. If your symptoms have worsened or if you’ve developed related conditions like sciatica or cervical disc issues, Survivor Sources Inc. can help you file for a rating increase or secondary service connection. Don’t settle for less than you deserve.
