Why is HYPERTENSION not a valid medical condition for service connected disability?
Friday, November 27th, 2009FROGMAN asked:
I never had it before I was in the military and it hasn’t posed an issue until after my 12 year mark, But it is not considered a disabling condition. I have to take medication for the rest of my life. If not I could have a stroke and DIE ! So what is the reason its not a listed for service connected comp. I know it was stress related due to my job and position. Is there a venue to appeal these autorized conditions ?
It is treatable with lifelong medications that don’t work for long periods of time. The meds cause drowsiness and loss of sexual abilities. That alone is not treatable. I dont want the meds.
I didnt have it when I entered. My freind didnt have diabetes when she entered and its treatable as well, Yet she get 100% comp.
