  1. Vietnam veteran - wounded in TET offensive and have extensive health problems. Currently rated at 100% SMC K. Is it worth filing for previous denial of the following. Since I am already at above rating, can I get rated at higher SMC with heart or 2nd and 3rd individual 100% ratings? Was denied ischemic heart disease and Type 2 Diabetes in 2009 claim. Recently diagnosed with Ischemic heart disease including acute coronary syndrome, respiratory distress, elevated troponin level, myocardial infarction non-st elevation, acute respiratory failure with hypoxemia, ischemic cardiomyopathy, hypertension, hyperlipidemia. Had a heart attack and was in cardiac care unit for 8 days after emergency stent surgery. Hospital diagnosis
  2. Yes. They r two separate claims. He was rated 100% on 1151. He has DSC ratings from Vietnam of 70%, 30%, 30%, 30%, 10%. He has Aid & Attendance and SMC award. Concerned about FTC claim and how this would affect any of this with offset.

  4. Hello New to had it - what a great help

  5. It has been over 11 months. How long does it take to decide a claim? My claim was well organized with a strong IME. It was a multiple claim. I am just wondering if VA has a timeframe in which they must decide. Any opinions are very welcomed.
  6. Hi This is all so complicated. Fighting for husband - a disabled Vietnam vet. Filed a claim in Oct 09 - still waiting to hear. Have IMO and all medical documents. In search for medical docs FOUND OUT VA PRIOR DECISIONS HAD LOST HIS VA MEDICAL TREATMENT RECORDS WHEN MAKING PRIOR DECISIONS. JUST RECENTLY FOUND THROUGH HAND SEARCH AFTER THREE REQUESTS IN ST LOUIS. IN LOST RECORDS, VA PHYSICIAN MAKES A NOTE TO MISSING MEDICAL FILES. ?? IF THEY DID NOT MAKE DECISIONS ON IMPORTANT MEDICAL DOCS IN THEIR CARE - CAN THIS BE A CUE CASE? IT SHOULD HAVE A BEARING ON 1151 AND TORT CLAIM. ALSO FILING 1151 AND TORT CASE. THIS IS SO COMPLICATED - CAN SOMEONE HELP US?
  7. Need Help I am filing a Tort Claim. Does the state where the malpractice was committed twice govern awards to veteran. Does state law prevail even though it will be filed in a different state. Is there anyone that can answer my question or a site available. So confused
  8. Husband has hypertension since service. He has diabetes 2 and va test revealed abdominal aortic dissect ion last year Would this be ischemic heart disease
