Hoping some people can assist me in next steps. I've recently WON my High Level Review to get the VA to say my Inguinal Hernia IS service connected, but it was rated at 0%. Looking online it says that
"Hernias that have not been or cannot be repaired are rated at10 percentdisabling. Importantly, a0 percentdisability rating is given for repaired and healed hernias; however, if there are lasting symptoms caused by the hernia (e.g., decreased organ function or muscle damage) they are rated separately."
Since my hernia is still not repaired, shouldn't it be at 10% and not 0?

Depends on what your treatment notes say, and what the examiner said in their C&P notes -get those and you'll know.
