C&P For Migraines - Gulf War

Rate this question

Question

Question about an upcoming C&P exam. I submitted a claim for migraines secondary to Tinnitus (10%), Cervical Spine (10%) and Post Concussive Syndrome (10%). I have headaches almost constantly and migraines where I just need to lay down in my room for several hours or until the next day about 3 time a month. Along with a DBQ completed by my primary care physician, I submitted "buddy letters" to include from my boss who talks about how I miss time from work so often due to migraines. 

My question is, when I look at my appointment, I see the DBQ for headaches (to include migraines) but there is also a DBQ General Medicine - Gulf War.  What is the Gulf War DBQ for? Is this a good thing? What do I need to know about this before going into the exam?

 

Thanks!

Migraines are one of the symptoms of myriad "Gulf War" conditions called MUCMI - medically unexplained chronic multi-system illness (38CFR 3.317(b)). If you fall into the EOD/RAD period for anything considered Gulf War/Southwest Asia for a condition (on the list in the CFR above) manifesting to a 10% or more compensable degree NLT 31DEC2026 then you were likely scheduled for that reason.

(I AM NOT A RATER- I work the claims BEFORE they are rated, annotating medical evidence in your records, VA and Legal documents,  and DA/DD forms- basically a paralegal/vso/etc except that I also evaluate your records based on Caluza and try to justify and schedule the exams that you go to based on whether or not your records have enough in them to warrant those)
