hypertension Hypertension Heart Disease
My husband had a stress test last month, it states " A trace of Hypertension Heart Disease" We seen his VA primary Dr. for the 2nd time since he has been rated 100%, we talked about this during that appointment.

Important Information Regarding Follow Up To All Medical Conditions
The reason I am posting this here is thare is soon to be a FTCA claim filed. I Know a Veteran who in 2005 had a CT scan that the radiologist read as worrisome for "Lymphoma" on the report and suggested a follow up. The VA treating parties blew it of and did not schedule testing. In Sept of this year the Veteran started having several bouts with bleeding and diarrea. The Colonoscopy results are not back yet but this Vet is scared to death as he is sure has Cancer. Bottom line is this: Follow up. Even if you have to go outside. Dont take the first diagnosis. In this case it most likely has killed this Vet. J Basser

Negotiating With Ro
Anyone out there know if its possible to negotiate with RO as far as withdrawing a claim to award another one at a hearing? The hearing officer wants me to withdraw a few claims and just have the main ones. Any ideas? The hearing is coming up quick and I don't want to withdraw any of them if they are going to deny the main ones. The review officer said they could just write in their opinion over the phone if I did. Thank you Tower Rat

Knowledgeable people who don’t have time to read all posts may skip yours if your need isn’t clear in the title. I don’t read all posts every login and will gravitate towards those I have more info on. Use paragraphs instead of one massive, rambling introduction or story.
Again – Make it easy for others to help. If your question is buried in a monster paragraph, there are fewer who will investigate to dig it out.
How To Post
Post a clear title like
‘Need help preparing PTSD claim’ or “VA med center won’t schedule my surgery” instead of ‘I have a question."
This gives members a starting point to ask clarifying questions like “Can you post the Reasons for Denial of your claim?”
Note:
Your first posts on the board may be delayed before they appear as they are reviewed. The review requirement will usually be removed by the 6th post. However, we reserve the right to keep anyone on moderator preview.
This process allows us to remove spam and other junk posts before hitting the board. We want to keep the focus on VA Claims, and this helps us do that.
