I will try and make this short, and sweet so we can all understand, claim filed in 11/ 10 won all except for HBP was rated at 0%. Had IMO from Dr. Bash that discribed a 30% rating because of enlarged Heart. IMO got all claimed as secondary to Heart Deas. Here is the issue, DRO said no evedence meeting requirement for HBP at 10 % and the enlarged Heart was covered under the Heart Deas. rating. DRO stated that no VA Doc. showing 160 or higher sense 2009, this was correct, how ever my Cardio Rehab Docs. and Private Cardio Doc Clearly show a Diasolic 103 and 101 on Cardio Rehab intake Forms , and Medical Doc Showing Addition Medication that day for HBP and have been taking ever sense.
If the case had been won for HBP, I would have been 100% 3 yrs and 1 month earlier. Claim filed in 2013 made me 100% P&T
So if I win, net gain 40 K, plus wife was in school at that time and maybe elegable for backpay on chapter 35, if they make P&T from the 11/10 file date, for another 26K, worth the risk! plus 3 more years added to the time line of 100% for DIC, when that time comes. After 25 yrs in the fighting the VA, any planned reduction would result in an instant proliferation of paperwork and big firework. Plus another call to Dr. Bash and a good lawyer.
This fight Dyies when I Dye, however If I win I will not file anymore claims till and if I servive my next heart attach or a new life threating event can be tide too my service connected Dis.
Thanks to All for your help over the years
