I had an upper GI done at the VA this month and the doctors report said their was no evidence of gastroesophageal reflux disease. I was diagnosed with this condition in the early 90's and had it for years while on active duty. I took medication to control it. Upon retirement I filed for service connection and the C and P doctor also diagnosed me with this disease and the VA prescribes me Meds for it. I am currently rated 10% for gerd. I feel the medicines and diet are working to completely control this. Can the VA take my compensation because of this doctors report stating no evidence of reflux disease.. Sorry so long Jerry (Boats) Retired USN
