SEVERITY OF SYMPTOMS

In the context of VA claims, severity of symptoms refers to the extent a veteran’s medical condition or disability affects their daily life, functional abilities, and overall well-being.
  • Frequency and duration of symptoms
  • Impact on daily activities and employment
  • Level of pain/fatigue/other symptoms
  • Limitations on physical/mental abilities
  • Overall impact on quality of life
A higher rating indicates greater severity and a higher level of compensation. The goal is to ensure veterans receive appropriate support and benefits for their service-connected conditions.

The Five Conditions Used to Evaluate Severity

  • Frequency: How often do symptoms occur?
  • Impact: How significantly do symptoms affect daily activities, work, or social life?
  • Pain: Is there chronic pain or discomfort associated with the condition? How severe is it?
  • Limitations: Are there specific physical or mental limitations imposed by the condition?
  • Impact on Quality of Life: How much does the condition affect overall well-being?
These conditions help assess the overall severity and effect of a medical condition on an individual’s life, allowing for a more comprehensive understanding of their needs and requirements.

Submit Your Claim with Confidence

Learn the essential steps for filing a VA claim, including completing VA Form 21-4138 and describing your symptoms accurately. Remember to bring a copy of your C&P exam details to ensure all important information is communicated effectively.

IMPORTANT TIP: Don't Give Up After a Denial

Many first-time applications are denied. Far too often, veterans give up at that point, thinking it is impossible to gain benefits. Don’t ever give up! Denials are often due to minor technicalities. Find out what’s missing and re-submit your application. With our help you can avoid these denials and increase your disabilities.
