What records usually show this
VA reads these things from your records: service treatment records, VA and private treatment records, and the VA claim exam (C&P exam). The published words on this page talk about:
- Pain, and what it stops you from doing: usually found in treatment notes or the VA claim exam (C&P exam) report that describe it, when those exist.
- A procedure to stretch the esophagus, or a stent: usually found in treatment notes, prescriptions, or a log you kept that show how often, when those records exist.
- Nausea or vomiting: usually found in treatment notes, prescriptions, or a log you kept that show how often, when those records exist.
Education only. This does not say you have any of these, and a record that mentions them does not decide a rating. Only write what is true for you. Evidence needed for your disability claim · VA claim exam (C&P exam)
