My question is why would they be considering IU if I did not ask nor apply for it? Would VA allow or consider IU if medical conditions were such that working may aggrevation of the illness to a fatal stage?
Secondly all of my heart paper work was sent shortly after my C&P. I can't seem to get a response from my VSO so any help would be appreciated. One thing I did do was write back to RO via IRIS and ask them the same question on IU.

This is the email (IRIS) I received on the 23rd of July:
Thank you for your inquiry. VA empathizes with all the suffering you and
your spouse are going through.
A rating was completed today on your claims. The issue of compensation for
coronary artery disease (CAD) is deferred because additional medical
evidence is required before a decision can be rendered. In addition, the
issue of whether or not you are entitled to Individual Unemployability is
deferred because additional claims development is required before a decision
can be rendered. These two deferrals are in reference to your temporary 100%
and a permanent 100% payment (IU).
If you have any questions, you may contact us by telephone at 1 800 827
1000. If you use a Telecommunications Device for the Deaf (TDD), the number
is 1 800 829 4833.
If you are looking for general information about benefits and eligibility,
you should visit our web site at http://www.va.gov, or search the Frequently
Asked Questions (FAQs) at http://iris.va.gov.
