Good day, First thank you all for all the information it has been very helpful and has easied my anxiety.
I am retiring from the military and my C&P is coming up. The VA rep who set it up told me I could not claim my breast reduction only the scars. I have several issues I will be claiming and have looked in CFR 38 and breast reductions is covered.
I had the surgery after a car accident that injuried my back. For years a doctor told me I would benefit from the reduction but I would not do it. (all documented). After my car accident again a doctor recommended it to relieve the pain and pressure on my back. (noted in around about way in my record). This was after several other medical optioned failed. So I had the surgery. This was a significant reduction with scars from one side to the other. I ended up have a artificial disk replacement for my back.
My question is why is this not claimable and does anyone have any recommendations. I will be claiming several other problems including CFS, Fibomyalgia, hypersomnelence and IBS. thank you for any help or advice you may give me
