Common Conditions for VA Disability: Back Pain to PTSD and Beyond
For many veterans, the fight doesn’t end when the uniform comes off. You come home, you try to adjust, but the body and mind carry the reminders of your service — back pain that flares every morning, sleep apnea that leaves you exhausted, a constant, general feeling of anxiety. These struggles can seriously impact your ability to work and even function normally.
The VA recognizes a number of different service-connected conditions as disabilities and offers benefits and support to the veterans who suffer from them. The team at Capovilla & Williams helps veterans across the U.S. claim the VA benefits they’re entitled to. Whether you’re dealing with PTSD, tinnitus, a cardiovascular disorder, or any other condition connected to your military service, we can help you, too. Call us at 855-442-6213 or contact us online so we can get started. Veterans pay nothing out of pocket for our help with their disability claim.
From Sleep Apnea to Back Injuries: Common VA Disability Claims
As a veteran, you’ve experienced years of physical and mental wear and tear. The rucksack on your shoulders. The desert dust in your lungs. The jump landings that jarred your spine. The scenes you’ve witnessed. Service takes its toll on everyone.
Some of the most common conditions veterans seek help for from the VA include:
- PTSD, anxiety, depression, and other mental health
- Sleep Apnea
- Traumatic brain injury (TBI)
- Back injuries
- Respiratory issues (including burn pit exposure)
- Hearing loss and tinnitus
- Migraines and chronic headaches
- Knee and joint injuries
- Neck and shoulder injuries
- Skin conditions
- Digestive disorders
- Cardiovascular issues
- Diabetes (especially from Agent Orange exposure)
These are the “usual suspects” in VA disability claims — but every veteran’s story is different, and there are many more qualifying conditions than we have listed here. However your health has been impacted by your service, we can help you file your claim and get the compensation you deserve.
The Broad Impact of Service-Related Disabilities
A back injury isn’t just a sore spot — it’s the reason you can’t pick up your kids without pain. Sleep apnea isn’t just snoring — it’s nights of poor rest that bleed into foggy, unproductive days. PTSD isn’t just an entry in your medical chart — it’s the weight that follows you into quiet rooms, crowded places, or restless nights.
The VA process tries to account for how your service left its mark. The better you understand where your condition fits into that picture, the stronger your claim will be.
Taking Control of the Process
The truth is, many veterans get underrated or denied, not because their condition isn’t real, but because the paperwork wasn’t lined up the way the VA wants it. That’s where having someone in your corner who knows the system makes a difference: you don’t have to fight this battle alone.
