Posts: 742 May 18 11 4:35 AM	Tags : None I've used IRIS to make my request know regarding specifics that I'd like the VA to reconsider regarding the decision that was made on the issues I brought up for secondary issues to several SC disabilities. I read somewhere on this site regarding asking for a rating based on Constipation? Primarily because of the narcotics I've taken over the last 5 years and the impact it's had upon my body. I know I'll never go without them the rest of my life - is primarily why I identified it. What happens if I get to the point of real addiction - don't know if that a way to put it - but I've had occasions where I was going into withdrawal and the only way to beat it was to refresh the drugs I'm prescribed. I sure went into this with my eyes wide open but the choices I had were living in Hell with pain or dealing with it through narcotics. I also requested a rating based upon my balance being screwed up. I can't dress without sitting or leaning against something - I've had several falls and so far I haven't hurt myself to bad, However one day I will and I know the older I get the more prone I am to breaking something, Has anyone addressed Balance to be an area for rating? If anyone has any commends - good or bad - kindly express yourself! Thanks - all is good and I look forward to learning. Bob . . . hear, see, speak . . . Respond!

Filing for something that you do not have a current diagnosis for is not likely to succeed as they can only rate you on what you are diagnosed as having. If your PCP has not done any testing on your related to either of these conditions it would be a good idea to ask him about them and if you could be tested to determine how your treatment plan should progress. Once you know you have been diagnosed, then would be the time to file a claim for them as you would have your doctors opinions already in the file. It might still be necessary for your PCP to write a nexus up, but it is possible that he would have done this though his treatment notes in an indirect way by stating that your constipation is a direct result of the medications you are taking to treat your service connected disability of xxxxx. And you would already be in treatment for it, that makes it an easier road to hoe as well. Just my thoughts, that is how I would approach it. Good Luck!!
