Physician Assistant and prior C&P examiner Leah Bucholz discusses VA Disability Gerd/IBS Quick Q&A.
Leah addresses questions related to Veterans Affairs (VA) disability claims, specifically focusing on gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) concerning other service-connected conditions. The speaker confirms that medications for service-connected orthopedic ailments, such as NSAIDs, can lead to GERD and highlights the possibility that hypertension is linked to orthopedic conditions due to pain, NSAID use, and weight gain. They express skepticism about hypertension's direct link to tinnitus but acknowledge connections between tinnitus and mental health issues, migraines, and vertigo. The speaker advises veterans whose claims, like GERD secondary to NSAID use, are denied, to carefully review their rating decision letters and consider various avenues for recourse.
