When I do my claims for the VA do I do two separate claims one for Asthma and one for Bronchitis or do they fall under the same category as one claim? Can you even claim bronchitis?
 
Since I've had multiple ER visits and problems with my lungs with no official diagnosis, I claimed bronchitis because that and upper respiratory infections were my only official diagnoses noted in my medical history. After I claimed bronchitis, I was given a Pulmonary Functioning Test (which I failed) and X-Rays during my C&P exam. I don't have access to the C&P results, but I'm hoping that the doctors will see my results and diagnose the root cause of my bronchitis so that I can get an official diagnosis that will be rated.

When I see my exam results, I'll let you know how they ended up rating bronchitis.
 
You can list both as contentions. They will likely be rated together.
 
You should be able to read your C@P with the blue button function on MyHealtyVet if it has been more than three business days.
