Are you looking to increase your VA disability rating? If so, let's look no further than back pain. If so, there may be a way to get compensated for it through the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). Most veterans deserve a 60% rating, which can make a huge difference in your total disability compensation. In this article, we'll discuss what VA ratings are and how they apply to back pain. We'll also provide some tips on how to increase your rating and get the maximum benefit possible.

The first thing you need for any VA disability claim is a diagnosis! This diagnosis can be for back spasms, low back pain, back pain, lumbar strain, and many more.

Secondly, you need to write a well thought-out personal statement OR use the "Back pain" pre-written personal statement template available in our premium all-in-one VA Claims Academy course. Winning your claim and increasing your VA disability rating has never been easier.

Third, you need to know how to take prompts at the C&P exam. NEVER put yourself through pain at the behest of a C&P examiner, I do not care what they tell you. The examiner is not the one who has to live with the fact that you cannot bend down to play with your children or grandchildren for weeks after your exam, all for the privilege of getting rated lower than you deserve by the VA on top of that. KNOW YOUR BOUNDARIES AND STICK TO THEM.

Lastly, enjoy your increase! Here at VA Claims Academy, if our course does not pay for itself each and every month, you can get 100% of your money back.That's how confident we are in this simple strategy and the step-by-step methods that the course guides you through.

During my C&P exam…. I asked the examiner (doctor) a question….. and he immediately responded with “I don’t have time to answer your questions, I have to get you in and out to evaluate the next person!” I was shocked but…. I didn’t say anything because…. I wanted my exam to go well! You know…. Just take it and be “nice” to get a “top” rating!
A little later… within minutes…. He received a personal phone call and left the exam room!
Veterans!!! My brothers and sisters….. don’t do what I failed to do! I didn’t report him!!!
These doctors (not all) give the VA the most important thing to your rating…. Their recommendation!!
If the examiner, like mine, presents himself/ herself as not carrying….. then it’s pretty safe to say that they DO NOT CARE ABOUT YOU!!!
No one is going to take care of you the way you can take care of you!!!
Hard lesson learned!!!

I feel ridiculously fortunate… my examiner was also a Air Guard flight surgeon. He understood the military, what they put us through and the “military mindset.” In the end I ended up with 100% P&T straight out the gate. Now that I’m 2 years from the “55 y/o rule” I’m counting my blessings.

[roblindsey]

I actually had a C&P examiner that told me to stop when I felt any pain at all and explained it to me why. No, a good and honest Dr doesn't last long with the VA.

[TheShadowman]

I’m 100% P&T. Took me 28 years. Helping other vets now. Started w VACI then went to another org. Your information is accurate and informative. Thanks for helping vets. I learned about the bilateral factor, goniometer. Dial up the enthusiasm. You have so much go stuff to share.

I've had chronic back pain/regular numbness for 20 years without thinking about it much. I figured that was just the way it was. I'm glad people in my life encouraged me to go this route. Your channel is very informative!

[wenceslaosandoval]

This is amazing information. Just got 90% rating in July. Us veterans deserve and need this compensation and medical help. Don’t be afraid to submit your claims but just get educated on it first. Took about 3-4 months to go through the process

Make sure when you go to the C&P exam for your back, if they ask you to take off the shoes you are wearing, do not bend over. They will screw you over with that. Wear shoes you can slip on and off with ease.

[gtoexpress]

You doing it like it should be done others are just ripping veterans off - you don't need to pay for a nexus you need to know what to say at the c&p exam and make sure you record it because them examiners aren't truthful at times !!!

[henry-coco]

It is good to know that there are a few of us who want to help us if we had this 20 years ago a lot of us would still be here thank you young guys for standing up we need you

[anthonygrant]

OMG, I had my C&P yesterday and this is what I did exactly what you stated on this video I'll keep you posted on my outcome. God bless.

[turbolag]

Dude you started mentioning the numbness in the legs and the pain and whatever and that is exactly how I feel. I actually included that on my initial claim it's been 8 months and I'm still waiting but so far they have given me a percentage for my asthma. This happened just yesterday. I'm glad to finally see something come of this because it feels like it's been a really long time

[DavidLangLeadership]

I was denied for my neck and back in 2014 without even an exam. In 2018 I got lawyer. In 2023 I finely got a hearing and a remand. In 2024 I was awarded 20% retroactive to 2014. I’m now a Post Service Officer for the American Legion helping other vets. Thanks for what you do.

[mariamarie]

Outstanding explanation!! Wish I could have discovered you much sooner. I suffered a back injury many years ago while in service and finally got a 20% rating. Keep up the excellent work with this channel!

[alexmorgan]

Brother, with that video you totally convinced me, I'm gonna sign up to your Academy. Maybe it's the way you explain things in a calm manner or the music in the background, but that's exactly the information I was looking for. Keep doing what you're doing, your channel is gonna sky-rocket, that's quality info you are giving

[DragnSlayur]

My first c&p for my back went not very well. They didn’t ask me too much, nor did they explain things. They never said on the bending test, to stop when I felt pain. They just kept saying to bend as far as I could. So I did, with great pain. I almost couldn’t raise back up straight. I ended up with 10% disability, service connected.

I re-filed after talking with another disabled vet who said they were supposed to tell me to bend until it hurts. I even had my Dr. fill out a DBQ, even though I knew it was absolutely needed since they had already service connected it. They scheduled me for another C&P, and that Dr. was awesome. She had pulled up my previous exam, and when I mentioned how my Dr. and a spine Dr. both said I had degenerative discs, she said the original c&p exam said I did not have any degeneration. She asked me a lot of questions, including for ridiculopathy. I felt like she actually was looking out for me.

With back issues you can get another 50% . Having back issues causes frequent urination problems . There’s lots of medical study’s on this . I’m just waiting for my C&P exam to get done and rated to go after the 50% for urinary problems .

[antonmortolovan]

I have compressed/bulging disks L4-S2 A tingling sensation from my waist to toes in both legs since '92. I was able to retire in '03. Im now at 90%.

[incryptowetrust]

With radiculopathy they rate it at mild, moderate, and severe. 10, 20, 30. So if you want 20% make sure you tell examiner it’s moderate. You get the picture.

Mr. Anderson, I spent 27 years as a Infantryman, no secondary MOS. In average I carried a rucksack weighing 190lbs. I skied with this rucksack, I walked up and down steep mountain’s. I walked in snow wearing snow shoes with this rucksack. I learned to shoot and maneuver with this rucksack. Oh, by the way I spent 10 years jumping out of planes along with my rucksack. I have 3 lower vertebrae damaged and yet no rating! Everything is in my medical records.
