Service Connected Recurrent Kidney Stones ?

Rate this question

Question

Can i receive a VA rating for kidney stones ?

I first had Kidney stones while at 29 Palms Ca in the Marines I had 2 separate events one on right side and the other on the left side sent to the emergency room both times . I was also sent to Camp Pendelton for a urine study. All of this is in my Medical File. After my discharge I have had 11 different passed stones .One surgery to break up stones and a stent put in .I currently have 5 more stones in my kidney now .

Questions

Should I file a Clam ?

Can I file a clam?

Could it be considered service connected recurrent issue ?

If i do file how do i go about getting it Service connected?

If it is approved what kind of rating could i expect?

Definitely, as long as it is documented in your military records. Some stuff the VA just does not like to rate. I had Shingles 2 times, yes I said twice in one year while active. The VA would not rate this, even though it is very unheard of someone having Shingles more than once in their life.
