Rate this question

Question

I not been on here is a few days, here is . I did a complet stress test last month, and things seemed OK. The card heart DR wanted to do a left heart cathization on the heart Ok that was done Tuesday the 25, he found a 95% blockage and put in a stent. he said there was another one with 70% blockage. So I guess my question is this a claim or not under agent orange? Yes I was a Viet Nam vet and was in the areas where it was sprayed. thanks for any response

Hello all,,

I put in a claim for CAD and Athero and it came back as IHD...... I also could not file a claim for CAD or Athero ,,,,they will consider this pyramiding as all of these diesases are going to be the same result. I do not know of an award that was granted for any 2 or all 3 diseases so it would be interesting if someone could see if that is true.

IHD is caused by Atherosclerosis or CAD according to medical rational and it is all related to arteries disease and I believe this is why the VA will not step into this narrow arena.

Hollis,,,,,,I just got back from a VA checkup and my bloodwork is showing some climb in the Creatin and low numbers in the eGFR which means something is going on in the Kidneys. I too have IHD, CAD, Athero and need to try and hold on till they get thru with my claim and decide how to work with the Lung part as well.

I am not Vietnam boots on the ground , but stationed where AO was used extensively so the long wait for me on the SC for IHD. I may be the first claim to be from Alaska with AO on heart issues. Already SC for Lung and Bowel so here we go. Good luck on your claims and please NEVER GIVE UP. God Bless, C.C.

Thanks Capt C.. for you input.

My PTSD C&P Dr. asked me why I haven't file for AO. I told him I needed to get what I file for approved or denied. I told him all it would do it slow down the process on the claims I have in.
