CRSC Ulcerative colitis and Crohns

[Starwars1234]

Any insights on getting CRSC with UC? I also have psoriatic arthritis with the UC that both contribute to 100% P&T (along with other stuff).

I have clear medical documentation (PA visits, prescription, colonoscopy right after deployment) that the UC symptoms started right after Ranger school. Also have the same documentation that my condition/flares got worse during 2 combat deployments to Afghanistan. All this was in the first 3-4 years from diagnosis (which occurred right after ranger school).

Since that second deployment, flares have come and gone irregularly and have not necessary been associated with training or other deployments.

TIA

Super ease since its considered a presumptive condition. So just fill out the application and include everything they need and it should easily be approved. The main things needed other than the App. is DD214's showing deployed to a qualified country and VA award letter for the presumptive condition. My wife had only presumptive conditions and got 80% CRSC which is more than she needed to max out pay.

Also, remember to apply for Tinnitus. The Army awarded her CRSC for it even though she didn't claim it in the application. Better to claim it though if you have a VA rating for it.
