🚨 BREAKING VA NEWS: Endometriosis Surgery Requirement Being ELIMINATED! 🚨
The Department of Veterans Affairs just proposed a major rule change that could help thousands of women veterans get disability benefits for endometriosis WITHOUT requiring invasive surgery. This is HUGE news!
In this video, I break down everything you need to know about the proposed elimination of the laparoscopy requirement for endometriosis service connection. Since 1995, the VA has required veterans to undergo an invasive surgical procedure just to prove their endometriosis diagnosis. That changes NOW.
📋 WHAT'S COVERED: ✅ The current laparoscopy requirement and why it's been a barrier ✅ What diagnostic methods the VA will accept under the new rule ✅ How the rating structure works (10%, 30%, and 50% ratings) ✅ Why this brings endometriosis in line with other conditions ✅ How to submit comments before the December 1, 2025 deadline ✅ What this means for pending and future claims
⏰ IMPORTANT DATES: • Rule Published: October 1, 2025 • Comment Deadline: December 1, 2025 • Submit Comments: www.regulations.gov (RIN 2900-AS39)
