I recently went and had my annual exam at the VA Medical Center and was just told that I had straightening of the neck, results from an MRI over a year ago (they never looked at the results until this appointment). I was given Baclofen for the muscle spasms along with Tramadol for the pain, which I was on Tramadol and Methocarbamol for the last 2 years. I am already rated 20% for "Degenerative Disc Disease and Arthric Cervical Spine (Claimed as Osteophytosis of Cervical Spine). Should I be putting in a claim to get my % increased or does my current percentage cover this?
better with individual or secondary ratings

misspelled words
I currently have ratings for sleep apnea, PTSD, Heart blockage and uncontrolled high blood pressure all individually. Someone at DAV told me I should try and get NEXUS letter to combine Sleep Apnea with heart and blood pressure issue. Would having them moved as a secondary issue rather than stand alone benefit me any? Would my VA disability rating and pay possibly increase. seems like a lot of paperwork and dealing with VA again when I am already getting paid for all of them right now as individual ratings.
