What We Cover:

GERD Adjustments: Discover how GERD, previously capped at a 60% rating, can now reach up to 80% under specific conditions. We'll walk you through the new rating tiers and what it takes to qualify for each level. Remember, current ratings won't automatically update; action is required from you.

IBS Rating Criteria: With the introduction of a 20% rating tier and more detailed criteria, understanding the new system is crucial. We break down what symptoms and frequency of abdominal pain qualify for 30%, 20%, and 10% ratings, highlighting the importance of documented symptoms.

Hemorrhoids Rating Update: Many veterans currently rated at 0% for hemorrhoids could see an increase. We'll explain the distinction between internal and external hemorrhoids in the new system and the symptoms that correspond to 20% and 10% ratings.

Why This Matters:

These changes reflect a move towards a more detailed and evidence-based approach in the VA's evaluation of these conditions. It's essential for veterans to understand these updates to ensure they receive the appropriate rating based on the impact of their conditions on daily life.

Take Action:

If you're currently rated for GERD, IBS, or hemorrhoids, or if you experience these conditions without a current rating, this video is a must-watch. Staying informed and prepared to submit a new claim if necessary is vital under the new criteria.
