2.Leg pain secondary to my back condition.

My depression disorder is also secondary to my back condition.

As far as the "signature required" it probably means they need a release of medical information.  (Your signature).

"Secondary action".   It may mean you need a secondary nexus, that is a doctors statement to the effect that  Your leg pain is at least as likely as not caused by your sc back issue.  Do you have this nexus?  Its probably not gonna happen without you doing something to make it happen.

Guess I was fretting to early.Just got my rating decision.Went from 40%to 80%.

70% on depression due to back issues and 20% on leg pain secondary to back issues,which ,=out to a total of 80%.

If you are unemployed and VA knew that-

did they mention TDIU or enclose the 21-8940 TDIU form?

It is great to know the claim succeeded!

Then you said you "havent received actual approval letter".  

     Most of us dont like to "speculate" on what ebenefits says.  Its like speculating on who will win the superbowl in 2020.  

So did you get the award letter or not?
