A secondary condition is one that is caused or aggravated by an already service-connected disability. ValorAI helps you organize timelines and evidence questions — not medical opinions or filing.
Plain-English secondary SC
Safe evidence framing
No outcome promises
You already have a service-connected condition, and another condition may be linked to it. Common educational examples include sleep issues, migraines, or mood symptoms that track with a primary disability — always verify medically.
Current diagnosis, a clear timeline, treatment notes, and a nexus discussion with a qualified clinician when appropriate. Buddy or personal statements can describe daily impact in plain language.
Secondary connection is case-specific. ValorAI organizes prep; it does not promise ratings, back pay, or approvals.
