meds for non-service connected condition causes disability?
Rate this question
Question
GBArmy
I assume that if the VA prescribes meds for a s-c disability and those meds end up causing new additional disabilities, they are responsible for the new disability. But is the VA also responsible for a new disability if they prescribe meds for a non-service- connected but treated medical issue over a long period of time and the veteran develops a new "disability"? Example , the veteran is prescribed b/p meds for non s-c hypertension, but the meds, over time, cause a new problem that has a diagnostic code and you can link the 2. What do you think?

"If you file a 1151 and win, is the compensation a 100% P&T to the veteran for that disability" The 1151 compensation is rated by the evidence and is often combined with a SC rating.
