[I retired after 20 yrs 30Jun2015...]

Hello all. 

I have been out of the Navy for 7 almost 8 months now. I was rated 100% P&T late last year. I was recently diagnosed with Colitis. Like recently as in yesterday. I have no such cases or visits other than a couple of cases of abdominal pain from when I was in several years ago. I never claimed anything IG related aside from GERD which is rated at 0%. 

My question is should I file a claim for Colitis? It was discovered on CT scan. (Ulcerative). Will they even consider it since I have been out for this long?

Thank you for any advice or related stories whether success or failure, all is requested. :)

So this is a bit late, but I logged in a month or so ago and was again shocked to see that my deferred PTSD with symptoms of anxiety, depression and insomnia was rated at 50%. So I checked my letters and I have been awarded 100% Permenant and Total with no further evaluations! WOW, just WOW!

[SHOCKED (and happy)]
