I had an appointment with outside nephrologist after CABG (8 blockages and quadruple bypass) and after c&p for coronary problems (c&p was10 days ago). The kidney specialist diagnosed acute renal failure and stage 4 kidney disease. Should I wait to file (I have dbq from kidney doctor and pertinent files from local VAMC supporting his diagnosis with one instance of VAMC doc giving same diagnosis in notes. Should I wait for decision on first claim before filing this claim?

When I went for c&p I took cardiologists DBQ, copies of very recent EKG, copies of very recent bloodwork done at civilian lab and copies of pertinent pages and notes from va exams (have more than 500 pages of records here at the house) and asked him if there was anything else I could do to make his job easier. I don't have a decision, but I am hopeful.

Yeah, but I plan to outlive all those admin SOBs in spite of AO, CAD, Renal failure, Stage 4. Kidney Disease, PN and Coronary Artery Bypass Graft - 8 blockages. Just to spite my 40% rating being looked at again even as I type this.
