HadIt.com Elder rentalguy1 Posted January 31, 2008 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted January 31, 2008 They wouldn't be able to rate both due to pyramiding. They'll have to rate one or the other. It is better to have the GERD rated than the hiatal hernia, because GERD can lead to esophogeal cancer, which of course can kill you. If he died due to a SC condition, then you are entitled to DIC. 90%, TDIU P&T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
