Question

I have been diagnosed with cystic kidney disease.  One about 8cm in size, another a little smaller, and then several small cysts.  They are filled with water and pose no danger at the moment.  If they grow, then they could pose a problem.  Kidneys operating at 50%.  Doctor says there is nothing to do at this point.  Just take an ultra sound of them once a year and monitor their size.  

Is this something I can file a claim on and if so, file now or wait until the disease progresses.  

Thanks.

Jayco I am very sorry for your illness. I am no doctor but you can rate your conditions under diagnostic code 7533 as found here

http://www.militarydisabilitymadeeasy.com/originalvasrd2.html#c7533  We don't have many facts but you have to have conditions that meet the symptoms identified by the code, in otherwords, a current diagnosis that is ratable. So, if your condition isn't quite bad enough now, which is certainly a good thing, it can't be rated yet. And, of course you have to have the condition identified while you were in service and a connection between the two which is called a nexus. Or, it can be s-c if you have another service-connected disability you can connect it to. Diagnosis and medical opinion is critical for any claim you submit.

    Tips on posting on the forums.

    1. Post a clear title like ‘Need help preparing PTSD claim’ or “VA med center won’t schedule my surgery” instead of ‘I have a question.
       
    2. Knowledgeable people who don’t have time to read all posts may skip yours if your need isn’t clear in the title.
      I don’t read all posts every login and will gravitate towards those I have more info on.
       
    3. Use paragraphs instead of one massive, rambling introduction or story.
       
      Again – You want to make it easy for others to help. If your question is buried in a monster paragraph, there are fewer who will investigate to dig it out.
     
    Leading too:

    exclamation-point.pngPost straightforward questions and then post background information.
     
    Examples:
     
    • Question A. I was previously denied for apnea – Should I refile a claim?
      • Adding Background information in your post will help members understand what information you are looking for so they can assist you in finding it.
    Rephrase the question: I was diagnosed with apnea in service and received a CPAP machine, but the claim was denied in 2008. Should I refile?
     
    • Question B. I may have PTSD- how can I be sure?
      • See how the details below give us a better understanding of what you’re claiming.
    Rephrase the question: I was involved in a traumatic incident on base in 1974 and have had nightmares ever since, but I did not go to mental health while enlisted. How can I get help?
     
    This gives members a starting point to ask clarifying questions like “Can you post the Reasons for Denial of your claim?”

    You’ve just been rated 100% disabled by the Veterans Affairs. After the excitement of finally having the rating you deserve wears off, you start asking questions. One of the first questions that you might ask is this: It’s a legitimate question – rare is the Veteran that finds themselves sitting on the couch eating bon-bons … Continue reading
