Thank you all for your brilliant insights. I'll be researching and keeping you posted on my progress. -Jim

Thank you all for sharing your experience and letting me know how it works. I need to review things more closely before I decide. I'm having issues with my degenerative disk disease, and have an MRI scheduled for later this week. Pending the results of that, I may put in for an increase for both on the same claim ... using help from the DAV. Thanks again, -Jim I was a member here 10-15 years ago, but haven't logged in for several years since ... this is way more than my first post.

Hi all, I am currently rated 30% for Irritable Bowel Syndrome. GERD is documented in my medical record but I never sought disability for it. Since I am already 30% for IBS, can I even get a separate rating for GERD? I retired in 2000, and have had the IBS rating since 2006. When I've gone for increases in the past they've always had the opportunity to revisit all my rated disabilities and I'm nervous about that. Does anyone have recent similar experience? TIA, -Jim
