Free Viability Check →GERD and related digestive conditions are among the most commonly service-connected disabilities in veterans, but VA raters look for specific evidence: a confirmed diagnosis and a physician's opinion connecting the condition to service or to another service-connected disability. The articles below cover the individual conditions in this group, from Barrett's esophagus and hiatal hernia to celiac disease, IBD, gastroparesis, and PPI-related complications, along with the claim theories, rating criteria, and evidence each one requires. Read what a strong GERD nexus letter needs to include before you file, and start with whichever condition matches your situation.
