23 ;;The protocol for conducting examinations on former
24 ;;POWs should include the following and be faxed in
25 ;;in its entirety to the regional office.
26 ;;
27 ;;1. The veteran completes VAF 10-0048, Former POW
28 ;;Medical History, which the examiners should review.
29 ;;
30 ;;2. The examination should include an exam for all
31 ;;presumptive POW disabilities, as well as any other
32 ;;disabilities claimed by the veteran. All laboratory
33 ;;and diagnostic tests should be completed and reviewed
34 ;;prior to completing the summary of findings.
35 ;;
36 ;;3. A mental disorders examination should be conducted.
37 ;;An appropriate worksheet is attached.
38 ;;
39 ;;4. A social survey should be conducted. An appropriate
40 ;;worksheet is also attached.
41 ;;
42 ;;5. The POW Physician Coordinator should complete
43 ;;summary of findings, diagnoses, and recommendations.
44 ;;The POW Physician Coordinator may express his or
45 ;;her judgement about the possible epidemiological
46 ;;factors and/or etiological origins of any noted
47 ;;disabilities.
48 ;;
49 ;;6. The following conditions are presumptive POW
50 ;;disabilities:
51 ;;
52 ;;Avitaminosis
53 ;;Beriberi (including beriberi heart disease)
54 ;;Chronic dysentery
55 ;;Helminthiasis
56 ;;Malnutrition (including optic atrophy associated with
57 ;; malnutrition)
58 ;;Pellagra
59 ;;any other nutritional dificiency
60 ;;Psychosis
61 ;;Any of the anxiety states
62 ;;Post-traumatic osteoarthritis
63 ;;Organic residuals of frostbite
64 ;;Peptic ulcer disease
65 ;;Irritable bowel syndrome
66 ;;Peripheral neuropathy
67 ;;|TOP|
68 ;;7. Because the term "irritable bowel syndrome", as
69 ;;applied to former POWs, includes a number of other
70 ;;conditions, and because the rating schedule places
71 ;;restrictions on the evaluation of co-existing gastro-
72 ;;intestinal conditions, it is important that all
73 ;;gastrointestinal disorders found be described in
74 ;;detail. The term "peptic ulcer" is not proper for
75 ;;evaluation purposes. You should specify "gastric",
76 ;;"marginal", or "duodenal" as appropriate.
77 ;;
78 ;;8. In many cases, the contemporary treatment records
79 ;;for the initial manifestation of POW presumptive
80 ;;diseases will no longer be available because of the
81 ;;passage of time, death of the physician, etc. Histories
82 ;;of specific diseases should include whether the
83 ;;veteran recalls his symptoms at the time so the
84 ;;rating board can determine whether conditions now
85 ;;present, but non-compensable, were of compensable degree
86 ;;in the past.
