What will be the Retro DATE , for vets that have filed the very first time for the three Presumptive AO claims ?

Nothing in the proposed rules as I can find

Looks like the rules of the date of filing your NEW AO IHD claim will prevail

[Philip Rogers]

Looks like that is correct but, "I feel," with two exceptions. One would be if the vet ever filed a blanket claim, for AO, years earlier and the other would be if the IHD was diagnosed earlier. I feel the case can be won but obviously the VA wouldn't publicize it, as it would cost too much. I think Nehmer would cover that but bow to Berta's expertise on the subject of Nehmer. jmo

************************************************

If you were diagnosed, but failed to file a claim...... for IHD , theVA could care less I had IHD when I forst went to the VA...

I never filed any Heart or Heart related things.

13 days after the AO presumptives were announced I filed.... we are not talking of Prior filings and the Nehmer ruling.

This question is about on the 13Octt2009 the day the first filing could be made for the very first time...

What is the date these new claims start retro, the day one filed on or after 13Oct2009........

or

The retro starts the day the Proposed rules were published, or worse yet.... the day the retro starts is the day the FINAL

Rules are published sometime on or past AUGUST 2010 ?

Forget all else

I believe when i filed for hep.c and was denied i asked to consider any and all future discovery of causes for infection ,such as air guns ect.

I cant remember if i put similar wording as far as agent orange goes,but if i did would that qualify as a claim if i had ihd ?
