Somatic Symptom Disorder (SSD), previously called Chronic Pain Syndrome, means a veteran is having a considerable focus on his/her physical symptoms, such as pain, weakness, limitations, and shortness of breath. This is also known as a Lifestyle Impact Claim.   This is typically tied to the daily chronic pain and life/health limitations related to a disabled veteran's current service-connected disabilities rated at 0 percent or higher.  It is sometimes referred to as a "Lifestyle Impact Claim," although no such claim exists in CFR 38, Part 4, Schedule for Rating Disabilities.  The disabled Veteran typically has excessive thoughts, feelings, and behaviors relating to these physical symptoms, which causes significant occupational and social impairment in the Veteran's work, life, and/or social functioning.
