Accredited VA Disability Attorney, MacKenzi Payne-Crowe explains VA claims for conditions that affect the digestive system.

The rating schedule for gastrointestinal disabilities includes conditions caused by physical trauma, infectious diseases, chronic multi-symptom illnesses like gastrointestinal disabilities related to Gulf War Syndrome, and surgery such as bowel resection.
This video covers:
VA ratings for IBS
VA ratings for GERD
VA ratings for hemorrhoids
VA ratings for some liver conditions
VA ratings for three digestive cancers

As you watch, keep in mind that the conditions listed in this video are not exhaustive. The ratings defined by the VA are representative of the types of symptoms experienced in gastrointestinal disabilities. It is entirely possible that you have a gastrointestinal disability that entitles you to VA disability benefits even if it is not specifically rated.
