Welcome to The Veterans Disability Nexus, where we provide unique insights and expertise on medical evidence related to VA-rated disabilities.
Leah Bucholz, a US Army Veteran, Physician Assistant, & former Compensation & Pension Examiner shares her knowledge related to Independent Medical Opinions often referred to as “Nexus Letters” in support of your pursuit of VA Disability every Wednesday at 7 AM.
In this video, Leah explains carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) and its relation to VA disability. She begins by describing CTS as a common condition where pressure on the median nerve in the wrist causes symptoms like numbness, tingling, and weakness primarily in the thumb and first three fingers. The condition can be exacerbated by repetitive hand movements or anatomical factors. Leah also discusses how CTS can qualify for VA disability either on a primary basis if it was developed during active duty, or on a secondary basis if another service-connected condition aggravates it. She covers the potential influence of risk factors like obesity and provides a brief overview of how the VA rates the disability severity of CTS, emphasizing the importance of consulting with a veteran service officer or similar expert for claims assistance.
