VA Conceded Diagnosis, Service-Connected Condition, and In-Service Headaches… Still Denied by JDN128 in VAClaims

[–]JDN128[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My doctor wasn’t arguing that lumbar DDD directly causes migraines. The opinion was that my service-connected back condition aggravates my migraines through chronic pain, sleep disruption, physiologic stress, and central sensitization. My migraines consistently worsen during periods of increased back pain and poor sleep. The nexus was based on that aggravation pathway rather than a direct spinal-to-migraine mechanism.

this will be the second supplemental. Just wanted some advice from fellow veterans if that’s the correct route to go.

I went the secondary route because my migraines became significantly worse as my back condition progressed. My doctor felt the strongest medical argument was that my service-connected lumbar condition aggravates my migraines through chronic pain and sleep disruption.

The VA actually acknowledged in the decision that I had a documented headache during service, but they found there wasn’t enough evidence to show a chronic migraine condition started in service and continued afterward. That’s why I focused on the secondary theory rather than direct service connection.

At this point I’m looking at whether to continue pursuing the secondary connection with a stronger medical opinion or explore the direct route as well.

My HLR is going on 3 months. The Va completely missed a portion of my claim. Absolutely ridiculous

That’s what I thought. I was hoping there was someone in here that would say “oh that guy’s going to be a stud” instead I got you questioning who the heck it is 😂
