Awarded 10% for rectal prolapse.
Explanation: "We have assigned a 10% evaluation for your rectal prolapse based on mild prolapse, occasional moderate leakage."
Rationale for disagreeing: During my C+P, explained to the PA about frequency of 95% of bowel movements results in prolapse, which I believe meets the higher evaluation of 30% due to frequently recurring - "A higher evaluation of 30% is not warranted for prolapse of rectum unless the evidence shows symptoms are moderate, persistent, or frequently recurring."
Tell them you want the set in stone definition of "occasional, moderate, persistent or frequently recurring." These are all arbitrary terms left open for interpretation by someone and they attempt to discern the meaning using their own prejudices and preconceived notions. xxxx that and xxxx the VA for using these non-medical, unscientific terms. The reason they do it is to deny, deny and deny. Fight'em! Don't give up!
