Question
ironfaux
Im a vietnam combat vet from 72 with ptsd that is now 100% p and t
back in oct 06 when i was only 50% i had to get a chest e-xray at bay pines
I hadnt been able to sleep laying down and my feet were swollen ,and i couldnt walk any distance for about a month without having to stop and rest.
anyway after i had the x-ray the attendant said i should stop at the emergency room to have them look at this so i went with the help of a nurse, by this time i was kinda in bad shape.
they did vitals then an ekg and within an hr i was on the 4th floor in the heart center for a week.(sorry to be so long winded)
i was diagnosed with congestive heart failure with an injection fraction of 21 % and artarial fibulation .
my vet counslor advised me to file ,so on oct 19th i did.mo march 12/ 07 i got a letter denying my claim
in oct of this yr i got some paperwork with my name typed on it about agent orange and nemher and if i signed it i would be put on the front of the list for evaluations
once again i called my vet counslor and he told me to not rock the boat and ignore it
i just went to a c and p on nov 15th and on fri .dec 3rd i called the 1-800 number and they said it was at the rater and i should hear in about 2 to 3 weeks about all this. oh and btw i have 100% n/s connected for copd so they say
My question is (finally) what can i expect and i heard about an s code and an n code and a m code can this now help me also
appreciative as always
