Berta, Thank you for all of your help. It appears that my status for the appeal that the VA submitted for me is in the evidence gathering/decision phase. God only knows how long that will take. I am not sure but it appears that all of the issues are related to agent orange and Isscimic hear deisease, CAD or partkinsons. I am an in country vietnam veteran.

I was just recently up to 100% for various reasons. I just recently received a letter from the VA saying that my case is now being review under a recent court case based on the Nehmer court case. Today when I looked up the status on the VA website I received noticed the following comments: Claim type Compensation What you’ve claimed CORONARY ARTERY DISEASE STATUS POST MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION (Reopen) HEART CONDITION (ISCHEMIC HEART DISEASE) (Reopen) PARKINSON'S DISEASE (Reopen) Date received April 26, 2021 Your representative for VA claims DISABLED AMERICAN VETERANS First it was the VA that opened this case based on a recent court decision and not me. I am also concerned that VA will reduce my percent I a was upped to 100 effective March of this year. My question is should I remove DAV from my claim since they have not communicated with me in the last few years? Need help?
