Attorney Wants Diagnosis for Secondary Complication to Rated Condition; Must it be through VA?
Cat4Christ777 posted a question in IMO Independent Medical Opinion,
Originally, this secondary condition was claimed as 'migraines,' but while it may begin as a migraine with a complication, the VA can--and has, more than once--made it so much worse (pain-wise). If it does not qualify as a migraine, then my attorney and I need to come up with a different diagnosis. It's definitely a neurological issue, possibly 'occipital neuralgia,' as the condition meets the criteria of its definition, here: https://medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/occipital+neuralgia.-

VA Math, Confusing, Right? Calculate Your Final Rating Percentage!
Tbird posted a blog entry in Tbirds Blog,
10 + 50 = 50 and other VA math mysteries explained.
VA Math It’s Not Your Mother’s Arithmetic
“VA Math” is the way that the VA computes combined impairment ratings for multiple conditions in a Veteran’s compensation benefits claim – and it requires that you unlearn real math. When a Veteran has multiple medical conditions that are service-connected and the Veterans Affairs rates each at a different percentage, it would seem that they should just add up your percentages to get to a total body impairment rating.-

Question
fmfdoc 9
I had a combination of a GW exam and C&P for my Scars, Sinus and intestinal conditions. The GW was the brief exam. Told the provider all the immunizations that I took, burning oil fields exposed to and nightmares and fatigue. at this point I'm not sure what to expect from the GW exam
One item i want to point out is the Intestinal condition exam. she looked at the several Gastroenteritis treatments during and after service( to included a DX of Hemorroids during and after service). The provider made a comment that i "should receive disabiltity for my IBS" and it looks like the provider documented a dx of IBS. I also i noticed that in 2012 i was dx with Ulceration of the Terminal Ileum, which the provider also mentioned .
In the remarks the provider stated that " Symptoms today are consistant with dx of IBS. I have encouraged veteran to discuss with his PCP
IBS would be considered a medically unexplained chronic multisymtom illness of unknown or partially known etiology related to service in the gulf
the provider also mentioned the dx with Ulceration of the Terminal Ileum that "at least as likely that not as a result of NSAIDS taken for service connected back pain. I do not think that this condition is contributing to current symptoms. He has not had a repeat colonoscopy"
aside for getting better, does this dx of IBS lead to a rating for IBS? what about the dx of Ulceration of the Terminal Ileum that "at least as likely that not as a result of NSAIDS taken for service connected back pain.
thoughts?
