In this video Leah explains the intricacies of Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) in the context of VA disability ratings. She clarifies that IBS, a functional gastrointestinal disorder, often requires a diagnosis of exclusion, and mentions the Rome criteria used in its diagnosis. Leah categorizes IBS into three types: IBS-C (constipation), IBS-D (diarrhea), and IBS-M (mixed), and discusses its potential connection to military service either on a primary or secondary basis. She particularly notes its prevalence among Gulf War veterans. Regarding the VA disability rating, she states that IBS can be rated at 0%, 10%, or 30%, with 30% being the highest. This highest rating is given for severe symptoms like constant abdominal pain, alternating diarrhea and constipation. Leah emphasizes the importance of the Disability Benefits Questionnaire (DBQ) in assessing these conditions and suggests her other videos for further guidance, especially on IBS secondary to PTSD.
