VA Migraine Ratings Lawyer Pennsylvania

We also help you gather proof of the frequency and severity of the migraine’s impact on your ability to work and take care of the responsibilities in your daily life.

Even after establishing your rating or benefits, the VA can change your rating periodically.

Types Of VA Migraine Cases We Handle

Living with migraines can be debilitating, especially when they interfere with your ability to work, help your family, or simply enjoy daily life. Our Pennsylvania VA migraine ratings lawyer knows how frustrating it is when the VA underrates or denies your condition. Attorney Greg Rada is a veteran for veterans, someone who has stood where you stand and now fights to make sure you receive the full compensation you’ve earned.

At our firm, we believe in proven results, direct communication, and no fees unless you win. We work every day to simplify the claims process, gather the right medical evidence, and build persuasive arguments that connect your migraine condition to your military service.

Service-Connected Migraine Claims

Many of our clients come to us after their first attempt to file for a migraine-related disability has been denied. In these cases, our goal is to establish a clear service connection. We gather in-service medical records, deployment histories, and expert opinions to show how your migraines began or worsened during your time in uniform.

A strong nexus letter that links your migraines to specific incidents, medications, or stressors is often key. Whether your migraines started after exposure to combat-related noise, a traumatic brain injury (TBI), or long-term medication use, we know how to build the evidence needed for approval.

Secondary Migraine Claims

Migraines often develop as a secondary condition to another service-connected disability. For example, veterans with PTSD, TBI, or neck and back injuries frequently experience chronic headaches as a result. We focus on proving the medical connection between your primary disability and the onset or worsening of your migraines.

In these cases, timing and documentation are everything. Our team works with medical experts to create a clear causal link between your already recognized condition and your migraine symptoms. By presenting this medical evidence effectively, we help veterans secure the additional compensation they deserve.

Migraine Rating Increase Claims

Even when the VA grants service connection for migraines, the assigned rating often doesn’t reflect how much they impact your life. The VA rates migraines from 0% to 50%, based on severity and frequency. Many veterans are underrated simply because their records don’t fully describe the level of impairment they face.

Our Pennsylvania VA migraines ratings lawyer will help you strengthen your claim for a higher rating by focusing on how your migraines cause prostrating attacks, episodes that force you to lie down or withdraw from normal activities. We also document how your migraines affect your work, family life, and overall functionality. Through detailed personal statements, medical opinions, and lay evidence, we make sure that the VA understands the real-world impact of your condition.

Total Disability Based On Individual Unemployability (TDIU) For Migraines

For some veterans, migraines are so severe that maintaining consistent employment becomes impossible. If that’s your situation, you may qualify for Total Disability based on Individual Unemployability (TDIU), which pays at the 100% disability rate even if your combined rating is lower.

We’ve helped veterans across Pennsylvania build strong TDIU cases by showing how unpredictable migraine attacks prevent reliable attendance, concentration, or job performance. Whether you’re self-employed, retired early due to migraines, or have been denied TDIU before, we can help you gather the right vocational and medical evidence to support your claim.

When The VA Gets It Wrong

Sometimes, even with strong evidence, the VA still denies or underrates migraine cases. That’s where we step in. We file appeals, request higher-level reviews, and take cases to the Board of Veterans’ Appeals when necessary. We know how to manage the system efficiently, communicate directly with decision-makers, and push for the results you deserve.
