Gerd

[rodsp]

I need help again please.....I have looked the 38 CFR over and cannot find a rating for GERD, when I file for it would I file under 7307 Gastritis, hypertrophic...I have no clue what is the closest thing to GERD.....anyone know? Thanks!!

the closest thing, and the one that the raters usually use is 7346 Hiatal Hernia

you might want to search 'gerds and nsaid' or is it 'nsaid and gerds' there is a one long string of information on ongoing 'nod', appeals, etc on this subject (on this forum.)

Thanks Rod for asking the question and Rental for dedication to others! The reason I'm glad Rod asked the question cause after I filed my first claim and recieved my first 'va' visit printout showing my percentages; reflux was listed at 0%. I'll have to look back over my claims, because I dont think its mentioned anywhere else. The va gives me Omperzole for it now along with a few other dandys, including ibuprofen. Ha.
