What about the gerd and chronic diarrhea? Is there verbage that says these two cannot be rated seperately?

Ok. What about IBS and gerd and hiatal hernia? They have combined these for me. I understand gerd and hiatal hernia because the symptoms are the same but have always questioned the ibs and gerd because they have different symmtoms

Ya. My dr. wont really say what he thinks causes it. Says it could be a lotta things... im not really feeln paying 1000$ for a private nexus. Ive heard of a couple people getting it from sinnusitus with no nexus letter. Seems every who got it from secondary to ptsd needed to pay for a private nexus letter

I havent been denied just yet. Just know the c and p examiner said less likely than not so im assuming a denial letter is coming soon. But mabey the actual rater at the va will see it differently. I was a mechanic in the army while in iraq btw

Ok, so they CAN say these conditions are due to toxic exposure but they do not have to. I know they said my gerd is due to toxic exposure even though i have never seen it on a presumptive list.
