The evidence gap
Why GERD & Digestive Conditions claims stall in Michigan
GERD is one of the most common secondary claims. Long-term NSAID use for a service-connected musculoskeletal condition and the medications prescribed for PTSD and depression are both well-documented causes of reflux disease.
What the VA requires
- A current GERD or related digestive diagnosis
- A service-connected primary condition or in-service event
- A medical opinion explaining causation or aggravation
How we help Michigan veterans
- Medication-pathway opinions tied to your actual prescription history
- Aggravation opinions where reflux predated but worsened during service
- Citation of the pharmacologic literature supporting the link
Digestive conditions are rated under 38 CFR 4.114. Rating criteria for esophageal conditions were revised in 2024 - current criteria emphasize documented symptoms and treatment requirements. Typical turnaround is up to 4 weeks once your complete records arrive.
