caubulldog Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 Chronic Pain Syndrome is rated under mental health for rating purposes and pain is to be taken in consideration in certain injuries Deluca Factor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sawgunner Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Can you please explain the "Deluca Factor"? My claim for CPS we denied the first time around because they stated that my claim for my hip and back included pain as a symptom. Chronic pain syndrome is a condition of it's own, as I understand it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caubulldog Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 The Deluca Factor is allowing for pain when rating orthopedic injuries as required by law. As I explained below Chronic Pain Syndrome is classified under mental conditions so you would require a mental health professional to link this syndrome to your chronic pain.

mrb Posted July 22, 2011 Author Share Posted July 22, 2011 Caubulldog Should the civillian Physical therapist know about this deluca factor or is this just a va thing. Does the deluca factor and range of motion fall in the same category(claim)or is it seperate. I can't find any info on this deluca factor except a court case and that is about as far as I get. Im confused. Can you direct me somwhere. Thanks for your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
