Sc Pituitary Tumor 0 Rated

[Frostydog]

I recieved my rating today. 30 percent. Submitted my claim before I retired. I had all of my items claimed SC. All but 3 were rated 0 including the thing that got me MEB'ed. I was diagnosed with a macroprolactonoma (a large prolactin secreting tumor) on my pituitary gland. It grew so big it damaged my pituitary and other assorted goodies in my noggin. Causes migranes, sinus infections.....all these were SC but rated 0. I cant understand the logic behind the rating. When I look up the ratings table a prolactin secreting neoplasm is a 100 percenter...Could this be a terminology issue or it it due to the fact that the medication is controlling the prolactin levels? I am on meds for the rest of my life to prevent this thing from growing due to its location it's inoperable. A neoplasm is a tumor...If I can google it I figure a rating board can. The things that were rated were tinitus, arthritis, and COPD...legit but I thought a tumour in the brain would carry a bit more weight.....I will appeal.

Hello - I'm new here but would be interested in someone's thoughts on the rating. I recently filed a claim for a pituitary adenoma which is basically a large prolactin secreting tumor. The tumor was found while in the military and I often suffer from severe headaches and sinus infections also. I basically have to be on meds for the rest of my life or suffer from severe headaches, lactation, sinus infections, etc. I've sent all my medical evidence and now I'm just waiting to hear when my C&P exam will be. It's disheartening to hear someone else with a similar issue was rated at 0%. How is that possible?
