pearl Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 Hi everyone I received my decision today on the appeal of carpal tunnel syndrome and hypertensive heart disease. I was granted ten percent on the carpal tunnel and thirty percent on the HHD. I am already 100% IU perm and total so this just gives me some retro back to 2001. Thanks for all the great advice this site offers. I am finally done with the VA, and I'm sure they are glad of that, I know I am. I hope that all your claims work out the way you want and need them to. Pearl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HadIt.com Elder Pete53 Posted June 24, 2006 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted June 24, 2006 Pearl: Not only have you gotten help from Hadit you have been a lot of help to others at this Board. It sounds like you are satisfied with the results so no advice justified but please stick around and help other Vets. Best Regards, Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mssoup1 Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 Pearl, So very happy for you. I know how excited you are because my husband got his decision a couple of weeks ago and we are also now through with the VA. After so many years of fighting, it really feels good to sit back and just know that it is over. Good luck and hope things go well for you. mssoup1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berta Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 Pearl- this is wonderful news! Is the retro based on SMC "K" award? Like someone said, it is always a pleasure to see you on the board- you are quite an asset to hadit and proof that it pays to ask for the rating that you derserve- mssoup -I sure hope you too stick around with us- both of you by sharing, have helped others and given many hope here.
