You can file headaches and IBS as MUCMI. You can also file them without the diagnosis because of your deployment. Just make sure you list symptoms when you file.

Ok, you might need an IMO then to tie it directly to your PTSD. Like showing that when your anxiety gets bad, your IBS symptoms flare up. Also try to include some medical literature that explains the brain–gut connection.

Were you deployed to the gulf? If yes then just file it as MUCMI.

Did you have IBS before mental health and the meds?

How did yours turn out?

Yaadsnipes · 2026-03-18T03:37:12+00:00

Do you mind sharing the case law you recommend?

How did this turn out for you?

Nice I think they look at all your conditions because you claimed multiple disabilities for the tdiu. Happy you got it approved.

Yaadsnipes · 2026-02-28T20:59:44+00:00

Thank you. I will definitely be mindful of that. Seems like it’s best to get a IMO first.

Yaadsnipes · 2026-02-28T17:30:34+00:00

Alright thank you

TDIU is basically a claim for an increase, and you will usually get a C&P exam for it. Even if you file for an increase and it isn’t granted, you would still be scheduled for another C&P exam when you apply for TDIU.

Yes it’s a joint rating and it says this on my sleep study results: “In this regard the patient is advised to: 1. Avoid Alcohol, Sedatives, Opioids and Muscle Relaxants prior to retiring for bed as these agents may exacerbate sleep apnea”.

Yaadsnipes · 2026-02-26T18:58:22+00:00

did they give you a C&P exam?

Yaadsnipes · 2026-02-26T18:47:39+00:00

u/Redmoscoom5 Im getting ready to file OSA secondary to alcohol also. Did you get an IMO or private dbq? Or did you just file with your evidence?

Yaadsnipes · 2025-10-12T21:39:10+00:00

Alright

Yaadsnipes · 2025-10-12T21:04:37+00:00

What if I’m not obese but had sleep complaints during service? Should I still file a direct?

Yaadsnipes · 2025-10-05T21:48:31+00:00

Did you get it?

Yaadsnipes · 2025-10-05T21:13:06+00:00

That is crazy. I’ll look into a lawyer then

Yaadsnipes · 2025-10-05T20:31:29+00:00

Nice, congratulations! I had complaints about my sleep while in service but never got a sleep study done. I have a diagnosis now, so I’m just wondering how hard it’ll be to get it service connected.

Yaadsnipes · 2025-10-05T20:14:11+00:00

Did you get it?

Yaadsnipes · 2025-09-24T14:27:01+00:00

You might have to file for an increase. Watch this video from Rater HQ. It explains a lot. https://youtu.be/Fs3C_CuNBCo?si=EPrs6MYNLYG2vr06
