Moderator brokensoldier244th Posted October 20, 2011 Moderator Share Posted October 20, 2011 You can file for chronic pain, though it usually falls under an MH award, and the pain is a secondary condition to the MH. For example, I am rated for depression that is secondary to chronic pain. Chronic pain itself can't be rated (though there is a 'Chronic Pain Syndrom" that can be rated, but you have to be diagnosed with it specifically). So, you can file for chronic pain if you are diagnosed, otherwise pain is considered under the Deluca ruling as a secondary condition to your other maladies. MH is a whole separate rating, that you can apply for, if you are under the care of MH, either VA or civilian. The Earth is degenerating these days.
