DVA claims by body areaDVA Claims — Kidneys, bladder & sexual health
Every Statement of Principles covering the kidneys, bladder and sexual health: 10 conditions, 314 legislated factors between them. Each one links through to the full factor list, and to an example report where we have written one.
A claim for any of these is decided against its Statement of Principles. At least one factor has to be met, and connected to your service. Reasonable Hypothesis applies to operational service; Balance of Probabilities to peacetime.

Not sure which condition it is?
You do not need the right name to start. A chart review reads your service and medical record end to end and identifies every claimable condition in it, dated, with the page reference behind each one — including the ones you would never have thought to claim.
If you already know the condition, the SoP Finder searches all 357 instruments, and the sequelae tool shows what an accepted condition opens up.
