In this video, Leah explains carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) and its relation to VA disability. She begins by describing CTS as a common condition where pressure on the median nerve in the wrist causes symptoms like numbness, tingling, and weakness primarily in the thumb and first three fingers. The condition can be exacerbated by repetitive hand movements or anatomical factors. Leah also discusses how CTS can qualify for VA disability either on a primary basis, if it was developed during active duty, or on a secondary basis, if another service-connected condition aggravates it. She covers the potential influence of risk factors like obesity and provides a brief overview of how the VA rates the disability severity of CTS, emphasizing the importance of consulting with a veteran service officer or similar expert for claims assistance.
