diabetes What Ischemic Heart Disease
Ischemic heart disease, as a new AO presumptive, will certainly bring many more Agent Orange claims into the VA system. With proof of AO exposure these claims should be very easy for the VA to rate and award. The biggest problem with these claims that I foresee is that the VA will not have adequate evidence to determine IHD as many vets with IHD might have CAD or CHF in their records as well as other medical terms that in fact mean IHD diagnosis -but maybe the VA could misinterpret this.Or a C & P doctor could opine inaccurately on this AO disease. I was talking to notable Vets lawyer Doug Rosinki a few weeks ago ago who had answered a vets que…

Peripheral Artery Disease (pad)
I have had PAD since 1999, has anyone ever heard if this has been considered as an Agent Orange presumptive? And should I go ahead and file on this since it is so close to the IHD conditions and is even mentioned in the new posting.

Vietnam Vets With Cml
It is very important that Vets with CML (Chronic Myloid Leukemia aka Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia) share our status and information. This would be a logical site for that, if any of us can ever get to the approved stage where our posts show up timely, or show up at all. CML is a rare form of Leukemia, and not on the list of presumptive diseases for AO (yet). It is so rare that even a lot of the oncologists many of us see have never before treated a case of CML. Some CML patients drive 200 miles to see an oncologist who has some experience with CML. The biggest "norm" for P+ CML (Philadelphia gene positive -- it is a gene transport in the chromosome in the bone marrow) is …

Service including in-country Vietnam from 1967-1974 First felt Angina pain in 1994 and became a patient of a heart specialist in Cambridge, Ma. After exhaustive testing was placed on medication and have been every since. (IHD diagnosis of some type, CAD,etc..) Veteran lost private medical coverage and requested care under VA since 1997, first as a 0% SC and later on at 20% SC. Archived VAMC records should have the IHD condition listed. I have not requested the older arc…

Delay Ischemic Heart Disease
Just got letter from V.A. Dear Mr (Tinkerer) We have received your compensation claim for ischemic heart disease based on herbicide exposure. However, this disease has not yet been added to the Department of Veterans Affairs regulations governing diseases presumptively associated with herbicide exposure. In order to add this disease, we must follow a series of legal requirements, including publishing a notice in the Federal Register. We have begun this process, but are holding your claim until these requirements have been met. When the process is complete, we will make a determination on your claim and provide you with a notice of our decision. My guess, enou…
