Continuous Medication

[GunnyO_Ret_USMC]

I read in another forum that if you are on a continuous medication for life, let's say atenolol for BP, does that get you a rating of 10%. You can only receive this rating once, no matter how many different meds you are on.

This would be a nice compensation if it is actually true. Thank you all and continue with the great support.

I've seen some rating schedules such as the one for HIV. Being on meds is part of the 10% or 30% rating criterea. Forgot which one is it. I'm sure other rating schedules have this too. I believe having to take medications lifelong is part of the disability picture.
