What Is the VA Disability Rating for Hernia? Hernia (other than hiatal) is assigned a VA disability rating from 0% to 100% based on how large it is, how long its been present, and how much it interferes with the ability to function. Hiatal hernias are rated from 0% to 80% using the criteria for stricture of esophagus.
GERD is a common secondary condition associated with hiatal hernia. The stomachs position through the diaphragm weakens the lower esophageal sphincter, causing acid reflux. Veterans with a service connection for GERD may also qualify for a secondary connection for a hiatal hernia.
They result from holes or defects in muscle walls which allow fat, other muscles, or internal organs to push through and they can cause even more serious complications, including permanent organ or muscle damage. A hernia alone is not enough to qualify you for disability benefits because most can surgically repaired.
The Disability Benefit Questionnaire (DBQ) form 21-0960C-8 is a vital tool for veterans to document the severity of their migraines, providing structured evidence to support the claim. Properly filled out, it can be an important pillar of your claim.
