Diagnostic Code

[Reddit]

What do I do about the wrong dianostic code?

I claim back and head injury. From a fall and mva in the military. Got diagnosis with cervial and back strain, lower back strain. And muscle strain and spasm from the miltary. Was told that although there is a record of treatment in service for a head and back injury no permanent residual or chronic disability subject to service connection is shown by service medical records or demonstrated by evidence following service.

I receive the diagnotics codes. 5299-5237. For residual of back injury

8199-8100 for residual of head injury ( i am already service connected for migraines)

I file for Asthma and receive the code 6502. I think that is wrong to. I think I should have receive the one for Bronchial Asthma

Tell me what to do. Do I have a clue

5237 is for strain.

Asthma is bronchial asthma. 6602

Migraines are 8100 You may need the new TBI rating. Sere you knocked out?

This is a good example of how much knowledge some of staff at the VA really has in doing their jobs...
