Hello Stillhere, I file my claim onlined, and gave them the information where to obtain my medical records, I am still learning the v.a. claims process, I have learned a lot from all of you on this site.

Hello Everyone, I had a C&P yesterday for the new presumptive ischemic heart disease. This is the first C&P I had, I never heard the word C&P until I received a letter for the exam. Anyway, it wasn't a good experience, The doctor, I guess she was a doctor, didn't give her name ask a few questions, Do you smoke, can you dress yourself, said my ejection rate was good, . There was a langauge barrier, most of the time I didn't understand her questions, I am not sure if she understood my answers, she had no prior history of my heart attacks or bypass surgery. I belive if she represents the V.A. style of C&P exams for agent orange presumptive ischemic heart disease then a lot of veterans are going to be disapointed. we will be lucky if we get a 0% service connected rateing, at least we may get some of our heart medicine w/o a co payment, thats the best I can hope for. I wish every one the best, I know how it is, having living with this disease since my 30's.
