Can you get VA disabilty for Restless Leg Syndrome?

Yes, it is possible to receive VA disability for Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS). To be eligible for disability compensation, you must meet the following criteria:

1. Service Connection: You must show that your RLS is related to your military service. This can be done by providing medical evidence showing that your symptoms started or worsened while you were in the military, or that your RLS is the result of a service-related injury or illness.

2. Disability Rating: The VA will assign a disability rating based on the severity of your RLS symptoms. The ratings range from 0% to 100%, with higher ratings indicating more severe symptoms.

The VA uses the following criteria to determine the severity of RLS:

* Mild: Occasional symptoms that do not interfere with sleep or daily activities.

* Moderate: More frequent symptoms that interfere with sleep and daily activities.

* Severe: Constant symptoms that make it difficult to sleep or perform daily activities.

If you meet the criteria for service connection and disability rating, you may be eligible to receive VA disability compensation for your RLS. The amount of compensation you receive will depend on your disability rating and your income level.

It's important to note that the VA may require you to undergo a medical examination to assess your RLS symptoms and determine your disability rating. If you have any questions or concerns about your eligibility for VA disability for RLS, it's best to contact a veterans service organization or an accredited VA claims agent for assistance.
