Question
jlrith
I am currently rated 40% for primary Raynaud's disease.
The past two winters I have had numerous chilblains form, something like 250 each winter and upwards of 30 at a time.
Sometimes these turn into little ulcers, just like small, deep blisters popping.
The 60% rating level requires "2 or more digital ulcers"
Chilblains are acral ulcers, and many of them occur on my fingers, making them digital ulcers.
I have had one of the nasty ulcers, but I don't know if the chilblains are considered ulcers on their own, if they are considered ulcers when they burst or if they must be what you normally think of ulcers as being: Nasty, rotting flesh.
Does anyone know what type of ulcer is considered qualifying in this case?
