Question
AFMedic09
I posted this in another forum, but maybe that wasn't the best place to ask the question. So here goes:
I am scheduled to have a total hysterectomy to correct the pelvic organ prolapse in April. I am currently 20% disabled for TVT bladder sling and they attached a cystocele/rectocele 0% rating to that. I also have 30%for migraines, and other conditions which are rated at 0%. (Non-GYN) for a total rating of 40%.
My question is how will the hysterectomy affect my rating and how do I claim the hysterectomy after the surgery? The hysterectomy is to correct the cystocele and rectoceles and pelvic organ prolapse. It will not be removing or changing the bladder sling in any way. Will I have to file a new claim for the hysterectomy, will it change my disability at all, or will it be an increase to the pelvic claim since they had connected the cystocele/rectocele to the bladder sling? I'm sorry if this is unclear. I am confused and don't know if I should ask for an increase, file a claim after the hysterectomy, or if I should expect a decrease in my disability after the hysterectomy? Thank you so much for your time.
