Question

I have been Diag with IBS and I get these headaches. I am getting 0 percent for the headaches and the dr does not know why I get them. I asked my Va rep if I should put in/ claim for Gulf War and he tells me that these headaches and IBS does not qualify for Gulf War because these are not undiag. I believe they are because dr cannot tell me why I have them. I have put in for Gulf War before and was denied. What are my opions?

First thing is to appeal. Second thing is to get a medical opinion to link to service. Just my opinion

If you are service connected for headaches/migraines, all you would need to do is file a claim for increase.

Are you being treated for headaches and how severe are they and how frequently do you have them?

What are your service connected disabilities? What is the breakdown of your 80%?
