Jimbo, we are all in this together and trying to figure out the VA. Been at it years myself, then I found Hadit, Thank GOD! If ya only knew half my story. Well, I'm sure it doesn't stack up to anything you are dealin with just now. Sounds like yer doing good and fighting onward.

Okay, lets see if I have this correct.

You have a copy of the VA treating doctor's notes saying "unemployable".? Great.

You have a copy of the private cardiologists letter saying 'unemployable'? Great.

You have a copy of the reason the VA denied you for IU the last time? If you are appealing that, expect new c&p exams.

You were admitted to a VA hospital for a 70% service connected condition, your heart? You deserve VA 100% rating for that duration.*

You have a current VSO? ok, you can ask the status of your claim from them or submit 'copies' of supporting documents.

Sorry for the list, but I was trying to sort out what where you are at in the VA process. So, in my opinion, if you have the two doctor letters or notes. Thats good. Hand 'copies' of them over to the VA, highlighted and as soon as possible.

If you look at the reason the VA denied you for IU last time, if thats sedentary, things have changed for you. My guess, if IU is in appeal, things have changed dramatically. If you have since applied for ssdi and if it looks likely be approved, adding that information should help support your IU application or appeal.

*You have since been hospitalized and need to request a VA 100% rating for being inpatient and recouping (maybe someone else here can help explain).

One last question, if your service connected heart condition has changed recently, have you filed for an Increase in your VA disability benefits?

Keeping you in my prayers, if ya don't mind,

Cowgirl'up2009!

i have already put in for the heart increase, and for pad ive been to 2 c&p exams for the va i have 2 more which are may-26-09 and may-28-09, i talked to the va regional office today at the 1-800#and was told the decsesion on my iu appeal is set for oct-25-09, and i have already been to the social security doctor & mental health phyciatrist, waiting for them to get back to me, but how can the va have me rated at 100% with my nsc disabilites and 90% sc and not give me iu.

Yes that should help but you have to have it in writing and show it to VARO

i told my dav rep what he put on his pc and they have my power of attorney, and i have filled out all the paper work so they can get all my medical records, i do have a copy from the private cardiologist his assesment of me is, coronary artery disease ,cardiomyopathy,essential hypertension,hyperlipidemia,sleep apnea, and states over all it apears that i am totally and permantently disabled due to his cardiovascular disease
