  1. The person who did my vet's autopsy was the Chief Medical Examiner in Seattle, he also signed the death certificate. Another question, is it true that if my claim file clearly shows that my vet had the disease one year before I filed, then they might give me a effective date of '06 instead of '07?
  2. Yes, my vet died in 1990 and he had never filed as far as I know. But I did file for DIC in 2007 and was denied. That is the claim that is being readjud. right now. Should I send the VA a copy of the autopsy report or should I request the Coroners office do it?
  3. To answer your questions, my vet was never treated by the VA after the initial screening. He did suddenly, no warning. He worked for the Postal Service and went to a HMO only when he was forced into it by me. The autopsy report shows"Severe Focal Arteriosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease" as the #1 cause of death. The VA has a copy of the death certificate, the initial letter from the VA agent orange screening exam mentioning the Intraven. Conduct. Defect. I didn't receive any letter from NVLSP after registering online. I sent them an email with all of my information about 16 months ago. How can I contact them with an e mail address where they will reply? From what I see now with google, VA saw the early stages in '84 and did nothing! I sent a letter for readjud. to VA June of '10. asking them to reopen my claim under Nehmer. I have had my VFW man check for me and it is in the process and on a desk as of last week. What do you suggest I do right now?
  4. Hello, I am new to this site. I am a widow of a vet exposed to agent orange. In 1984 the VA called my vet in for a medical screening. One of the things that they found was "intraventricular conduction defect". This was listed on the letter they sent to him after his examination. My vet was told that his heart was wired backwards and not to worry about it. My vet died Sept. 1990 , the autopsy report revealed "severe focal arteriosclerotic cardiovascular disease". I filed in 2007 for DIC and was denied of course. Then I filed for reajudication of my claim and am still awaiting a decision. I am a Nehmer, and did register with the NVLS last year. I am wondering if I will be given an earler effective date due to the "84 discovery of Intraventricular conduction defect. According to google that is part of IHD early stages. The Nehmer manual says they will give attention to "the date the condition arose". I'd like some of your opinions on this.
