      I was over in Germany during that time.
      I am going thru IBS VA check ups right now.
      I never put these two together, but it is possible.
      I was told when I left Europe that I could never again give blood, but they blamed it on Mad Cow.

    I have service connected rating for GERD, and hemorrhoids. My loss of sphincter control diagnosis, and symptoms were listed on the DBQ from my CMP, but I was not rated for it. My IBS symptoms were listed on my DBQ but IBS was not listed as a diagnosis’s on the form and I was not rated for it. Do I need to submit a supplemental, or new request, for each. Also under 7319 it only shows 10% or 30%. Are you able to get ratings in between other designated benchmarks, and if so how to find the requirements.

    I had to have my gallbladder removed after my last tour to Iraq in 2011. Think it may be related to the burn pits?

    • @woodslawyers
      @woodslawyers  7 месяцев назад +2

      It's hard to answer your question without knowing more details about your case. However, when a person undergoes gallbladder removal, they will often resolve many of the symptoms related to their condition. However, if the symptoms continue, you will likely still receive a gallstone VA disability rating. The rating for gallbladder removal is:
      0% - for asymptomatic cases
      10% - if you experience mild symptoms
      30% - if you continue to suffer from severe symptoms

    Is any of this GURDS or EYE STROKE camp lejeune water related?
    At 10 year old marine brat living at CL had eye stroke at 57. Wth ?

    • @woodslawyers
      @woodslawyers  16 дней назад

      Within the last decade, the VA began recognizing presumptive service connections for veterans who served at Camp LeJeune and developed one of eight conditions:
      1. Adult leukemia
      2. Aplastic anemia and other myelodysplastic syndromes
      3. Bladder cancer
      4. Kidney cancer
      5. Liver cancer
      6. Multiple myeloma
      7. Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma
      8. Parkinson’s disease
      If you served at Camp Lejeune and have an illness that is not on the list of presumptive conditions, you may also be eligible for disability benefits. You will need to present evidence of the medical link (or nexus) between your condition and your exposure on base.

      @ I can copy paste too. Thanks for the information I already knew. You would think I googled that before reaching out to RUclips?
      I did ask about GURDs and an eye stroke. Blindness in general has a relationship, so I guess you could use some more studying. Don’t depend on copy paste it makes us lazy.
      Not legal advice good where prohibited.

    If you have IBS already snd then today they have a new rating can you file a gerd? Is on my military medical records and va records and recieved treatment and medication from va healthcare.Thanks

    • @woodslawyers
      @woodslawyers  7 месяцев назад +2

      It’s common for a person to develop both GERD and IBS. The two conditions have similar symptoms and impact similar regions of the body. Veterans can receive a VA disability rating between 0% and 80% for GERD, depending on the severity of symptoms they experience and how much it impacts their health. If a veteran’s GERD is linked to their service-connected IBS, they could be owed additional monthly VA compensation for GERD.

    How do you suggest dealing with VBA denials citing rationale based on gastro symptoms “diagnosed before primary PTSD diagnosis?” Nam vets and others deal with PTSD being recognized in the DSM in 1980 therefore this “rationale” is used to deny many of us… even thought the primary PTSD recognizes Nam as a “qualified event.”

    I have gerd and Barrett’s I recently file the gerd with Barrett’s as one claim and the gave me service connection of 10% for the gerd but didn’t address the Barrett’s. Should I do a supplemental or HLR to the original claim or just file a secondary?

    • @woodslawyers
      @woodslawyers  2 месяца назад

      To file a supplemental claim, it has to be supported by new and relevant evidence. This means if you choose the supplemental claim lane you cannot just resubmit the same evidence you did the first time you submitted the claim. New and relevant evidence is information that supports your claim that has not been presented in a previous claim.
      When a veteran requests a higher-level review, a senior claim adjudicator at a VA regional office reviews the same evidence presented in the initial claim and issues its own decision. Common examples of why a veteran would seek a HLR include: Wrong effective date, failure to consider evidence, and/or the veteran has no new evidence.
      For the VA to consider disability benefits for a secondary service connection, you must file a claim and be service connected for a primary disability. You can’t be granted the secondary condition until you’re granted the primary one. Although the primary and secondary conditions may be diagnosed at different times, they may be granted service connection at the same time.
