Question
Fred Bear
I just recently got out of the hospital for emergency surgery on my bowels. I had to have 15" of my colon removed because of a bleed. I ended up with a costomy bag that the Dr feels he can reverse in about 6 months. Because this came out of the blue and the Dr could not figure out what caused this I started to do a little research and quickly came across the Gulf War presumptive conditions and one of them is GI problems.
On to my questions -
1. Because this is presumptive and I did serve in the Gulf War do I automaticly rate a VA dissability?
2. Should it be code 7333 and @ 100% because I do have a colostomy bag?
3. If reversed, what would my rating be at that point?
any info would be appreciated. In either a positve or negative direction. I am currently rated at 40% because of a back condition and a severed thumb.
another question is, my medical bills, Because this was an emergency and not VA connected I went to the civilian hospital. If rated by the VA are any of my medical bills covered?
