Dingess/hartman Vs Nicholson (2006)
I just received a letter concerning this case. I call the va and they told me I do not have to do anything. The letter concerns a case sited above from the Court of veterans appeals, and talks above evidence and effective dates. It goes on to say if I have addition evidence submit it other wise they will decide my claim. Problem is they do not tell me which one of my claims this pertains to. When I called the VA rep told me it was a letter sent to anyone who ever filed a claim.. makes no sence to me, anyone know where I can get a copy of this case, couldn't find it at the bva site..... thanks

Well The Va Cancelled My Surgery Because
Bad thing is no one can tell me anything. Test was ordered as part of pre-op for kidney stone surgery. It was ordered by a nurse in the urology surgery clinic. When they called this morning to cancel my surgery, the nurse said there was a section of my heart not getting enough blood. So now I have to get my general medicine primary care manager to tell me what the news is.....................but I imagine I can add some type of heart disease to my growing list of aliments.
