5 VA Loopholes That ONLY Work If You're Over 60 | VA Disability Claims

📋 Schedule your FREE consultation with Xterra Health → https://schedule.xterrahealth.com/ "The VA is actually easier on you after 60." I know. That sounds backwards. Everything else in life gets harder as you age — your body breaks down, your injuries stack up, decades of wear and tear from service catch up to you all at once. But here's what most veterans don't realize... The VA has built-in advantages for older veterans. Rules that work in your favor. Protections that younger vets don't have. And if you don't know about them? You're leaving rating points — and money — on the table. I see this constantly. Veterans in their 50s, 60s, 70s... stuck at the same rating for years. Decades, sometimes. They think their ship has sailed. That the VA isn't going to do anything for them now. Wrong. If anything? The wind is finally at your back. In this video, I break down five loopholes in the VA system that specifically benefit veterans over 60 — functional loss rules, secondary condition chains, presumptive exposures under the PACT Act, easier C&P exams, and the 55-year rule that protects your rating from reductions. These aren't tricks. These aren't scams. These are the actual regulations — the ones the VA doesn't advertise. I'm Dr. Marshall Bahr — physician, Army Ranger (1st Batt, 75th Ranger Regiment), Special Operations Combat Medic, disabled veteran. I've helped thousands of veterans get the ratings they've earned. And I'm tired of seeing older vets leave money on the table because nobody told them about these rules. Your age isn't a disadvantage anymore. Let me show you why. ABOUT DR.
