Just in time for Christmas, I received my big brown envelope from Buffalo this afternoon. I was awarded 100% P&T for my ischemic heart disease claim, and also was awarded SMC-S for my other service connected disabilities.
I first filed 7/8/2009 for coronary artery disease as secondary to PTSD, and had a C&P exam on 9/21/2010. The VA assigned 30% from 7/8/2009, 60% from 6/17/2010, and increased it to 100% on 9/21/2010. My METS were estimated at the C&P exam as being between 0 and 3, my LVEF was 51% and 55% (2 different tests).
I hope all of you that are awaiting claims hear something soon and that you have a very merry Christmas!
