In this video Leah explains the intricacies of a hiatal hernia and the associated VA disability compensation and pension (C&P) exam. She defines a hiatal hernia as a condition where the upper part of the stomach bulges through the diaphragm into the chest, potentially leading to symptoms like acid reflux, heartburn, and chest pain, particularly when it's large. She discusses how hiatal hernias can be connected to military service, either diagnosed during service or as a secondary condition exacerbated by service-related factors like obesity. Leah outlines the VA's rating system for hiatal hernia, with ratings based on the severity of symptoms like pain, vomiting, and weight loss. She then walks through the C&P exam process, detailing the Disability Benefits Questionnaire (DBQ) used by examiners to assess the condition, including medical history, symptoms, and the impact on the veteran's life.
