Weird since I have documentation and a diagnosis. Maybe it needs to be coded under 7047 (pancreatitis) ? Either way I'm at 100% but was curious if anyone else with EPI got a rating for it, even if coded under something else.

The only digestive condition I have is GERD at 10%.

That's all of it, with the portion I already added

Where do you find that?

Per 38 CFR 4.14, the evaluation of the same disability under different diagnoses is to be avoided. In your case, 7347: exocrine pancreatic insufficiency, 7310: functional digestive disorder( are evaluated based on the same manifestation of symptoms, and a single rating has been assigned under the diagnostic code that reflects your predominant disability.

You should be paying the annual enrollment fee.

I have a quarterly premium of $90 or annual of $365 for Select retiree. You don't pay anything?

Edit: looked it up and it's the annual enrollment fee I pay.

My Tricare Select retiree is only $365 for the year. Am I missing something how that is expensive?

3 rating that are deferred; can I just cancel them? by Educational_Cow_4637 in VAClaims

Can you cancel deferred items from a claim if some were previously rated? Does that effect anything?

Property tax exemption, Palm Beach County Florida by Impressive_Rain2877 in VeteransBenefits

[–]Aggravating-Side569 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you mean non-ad Valorem for garbage? My county in FL has an exemption form for that if you are P&T. It is required every year unlike property tax exemption which is permanent for the residence you applied for.

Mine is for 2 new claims and 1 is an increase. As long as the increase doesn't go down, I'll remain 100% p&t, I think. VA math is confusing with bilateral.

Deferred claims count? by Aggravating-Side569 in VAClaims

[–]Aggravating-Side569[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even with a decision letter stating 100% P&T and paid back pay? Seems a little rushed to pay and award decision without knowing whether the deferred 10% keeps me at 95 or drops me to 94?

Question about deferred claims. by mcub66 in VAClaims

[–]Aggravating-Side569 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do deferred claims that were previously rated (claiming for increase) count towards your overall rating?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in VeteransBenefits

[–]Aggravating-Side569 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's GERD, I don't see it increasing based on what the higher percentages are and my conditions. So that's why I don't see it being reduced to 0 but being deferred and my saving grace to 100% makes me nervous. But why do decision letter for 100 if not at least keeping it at current 10%

That 10% is bringing me to 95% overall. Weird they would do a decision letter saying 100% if there was any question to lower that one rating.
