Power Up Secondary Claims: Upload One Strong Medical Article Today
Turn science into proof—back your secondary claim with a peer‑reviewed article today. Pick one secondary you’re claiming (e.g., knee OA from altered gait, GERD from NSAIDs, depression from chronic pain), search a trusted .gov/.edu source (NIH/PubMed), download a PDF that explicitly links your primary and secondary, highlight the relevant sentences, add your name/last four/date on the first page, and upload it on VA.gov to your open claim under “Submit evidence.” This gives the rater a credible nexus rationale now, not months later.
