Disability related to current disability

[Phil Wilcox]

I have a 30% disability on my left arm. After many years of not using my right arm for almost all acts of lifting and carrying I have herniated three disc’s in my low back. All my pain is on the right side of the low back. In my opinion this was caused by the lack of ability to use my left arm. Can this be used to receive more disability rating?

                It is so obvious that physical injury often leads to depression I wonder why the VA does not just do a routine screen for depression for disabled vets?  I think I know the answer....it would cost the VA millions of bucks.  They put the government bank account over the lives of vets....routine.
