If I filed for IHD in 2006, but c & p for type II diabetes in 2002 shows existence of coronary artery disease and triple bypass surgery, which would be the effective date for retro. Also, if I have coronary artery disease and have evidence of myocardial infarction from the coronary artery disease and have had triple bypass surgery and each condition has its own diagnostic code, will I be rated for all three conditions or only one.
Can't find out anything from VA. Their own cardiologist in VA Biloxi filled out their new diagnostic questionnaire. According to VA they have sent record to VA Montgomery for a medical opinion and then their opinion will go before a committee for another medical opinion. Sounds like a lot of delay to me. Why have so many new IHD claims been rated and so few Nehmer cases. I thought they should be first.
