How Does the VA Rate Chronic Pain?

Pain is how your nervous system tells you something is wrong. But chronic pain takes a toll on people physically and mentally, affecting their quality of life and, sometimes, their ability to work. The VA must provide disability benefits for chronic pain and chronic pain syndrome related to military service.
Accredited VA Disability Attorney Lori Underwood explains how the VA rates different types of chronic pain.
