Hello everyone. I am pretty new to this, and some of the actions of the VA make no sense to me with the C and P exams. I have a 10% rating for hypertension. To make a long story short, I was rushed into surgery Jan 12th for a six way bypass operation. That was after an abnormal stess test and heart cath. Anyway, I filed for an increased percentage. After the operation, I received a notice from the VA for an exam Jan 26, some two weeks after the operation. The day before the exam, I get a call from the VA that the appointment had been cancelled. The toll free customer service number says the claim is still being considered, and they have no idea why it was cancelled. The hospital says it means my claim will be rated no higher than what I have now. Does anyone have any experience with this? Can they settle the claim with no exam, or is it probably going to be denied, or will they schedule it later?
I have no idea what my chances are. The diagnosis says the typical things, coronary artery disease, ischemic heart disease, coronary stenosis, hypothyroidism, hypertension, and hypertipdemia. One thing is the connection to the hypertension alreay service connected.
Any thoughts or comments are greatly appreciated, and it is good to be here among vets.
