***How to Get a 60% VA Rating for GERD in 2021!***  - GERD VA Disability Rating Criteria -  Yes, GERD is a VA disability and can be rated at 10%, 30%, or 60%, depending upon the severity of your symptoms. GERD is most often rated under CFR 38, Part 4, VA Schedule of Ratings, Diagnostic Code 7346, Hernia Hiatal.  - Common Symptoms of GERD in Veterans -  * A burning sensation in your chest (heartburn), usually after eating, which may worsen at night * Chest pain * Difficulty eating and swallowing * Regurgitation of food particles or sour liquid * Sensation of a lump in your throat

- GERD Secondary to PTSD & PTSD secondary to GERD -  Many veterans with GERD or acid reflux, especially those who were diagnosed long after leaving the military are eligible under the law for GERD secondary to PTSD. For example, if veterans are taking SSRIs to help manage their PTSD symptoms, perhaps you’re suffering from side effects of those SSRI medications, which can lead to digestive system issues.  - What you need before you can get a GERD VA rating secondary -  By law, there are three evidentiary elements that must be satisfied for GERD secondary to PTSD to prove secondary service connection: * A medical diagnosis of GERD in VA medical records or private records (unless you already have a diagnosis of GERD in your service treatment records) * Evidence of a service-connected primary disability (such as PTSD, depression, anxiety, migraines, IBS), AND * Medical nexus evidence establishing a connection between the service-connected disability (PTSD) and the current disability (GERD)
