[Hernia Patch]

Because of the hernia patch recall how would I go about finding which patch was used by va for my repair surgery?

[Appeal Decision]

Today I received my decision from the appeals management center. First I have 20% rating for gerd since 99. In 2000 I went to va hospital for severe stomach pain. They told me that I had to have an appendectomy. But when I woke up they had perform an appendectomy and a right hemicolectomy for a perforated right diverticulum. So I file for that it was service connected and that I be paid 100% for the time I was off work. They approve the claim, paid 100% for the time off work and gave me 20% for the diverticulosis, but said that disabilities of the digestive system will not be combined with each other. So a single evaluation will be assigned under the diagnostic code, so rated me with the same 20% that I had from the start. Before the surgery I had never been treated for diverticulosis nor after. I trying to figure out what's the best way to go next....any thoughts
