- ;;The protocol for conducting examinations on former
- ;;POWs should include the following and be faxed in
- ;;in its entirety to the regional office.
- ;;
- ;;1. The veteran completes VAF 10-0048, Former POW
- ;;Medical History, which the examiners should review.
- ;;
- ;;2. The examination should include an exam for all
- ;;presumptive POW disabilities, as well as any other
- ;;disabilities claimed by the veteran. All laboratory
- ;;and diagnostic tests should be completed and reviewed
- ;;prior to completing the summary of findings.
- ;;
- ;;3. A mental disorders examination should be conducted.
- ;;An appropriate worksheet is attached.
- ;;
- ;;4. A social survey should be conducted. An appropriate
- ;;worksheet is also attached.
- ;;
- ;;5. The POW Physician Coordinator should complete
- ;;summary of findings, diagnoses, and recommendations.
- ;;The POW Physician Coordinator may express his or
- ;;her judgement about the possible epidemiological
- ;;factors and/or etiological origins of any noted
- ;;disabilities.
- ;;
- ;;6. The following conditions are presumptive POW
- ;;disabilities:
- ;;
- ;;Avitaminosis
- ;;Beriberi (including beriberi heart disease)
- ;;Chronic dysentery
- ;;Helminthiasis
- ;;Malnutrition (including optic atrophy associated with
- ;; malnutrition)
- ;;Pellagra
- ;;any other nutritional dificiency
- ;;Psychosis
- ;;Any of the anxiety states
- ;;Post-traumatic osteoarthritis
- ;;Organic residuals of frostbite
- ;;Peptic ulcer disease
- ;;Irritable bowel syndrome
- ;;Peripheral neuropathy
- ;;|TOP|
- ;;7. Because the term "irritable bowel syndrome", as
- ;;applied to former POWs, includes a number of other
- ;;conditions, and because the rating schedule places
- ;;restrictions on the evaluation of co-existing gastro-
- ;;intestinal conditions, it is important that all
- ;;gastrointestinal disorders found be described in
- ;;detail. The term "peptic ulcer" is not proper for
- ;;evaluation purposes. You should specify "gastric",
- ;;"marginal", or "duodenal" as appropriate.
- ;;
- ;;8. In many cases, the contemporary treatment records
- ;;for the initial manifestation of POW presumptive
- ;;diseases will no longer be available because of the
- ;;passage of time, death of the physician, etc. Histories
- ;;of specific diseases should include whether the
- ;;veteran recalls his symptoms at the time so the
- ;;rating board can determine whether conditions now
- ;;present, but non-compensable, were of compensable degree
- ;;in the past.
