Thank you everyone, Commander Bob 92, disabledveteran, Carlie and J Basser,
RATING DECISION
D. In view of the length of service and worsening of the condition, aggravation is
conceaded.
7013
1. SC 38 USC 331 (Aggr. PTE)
10% from 11/26/66
PAROXYSMAL ATRIAL TACHYCARDIA
10. Not entitled 38 USC 336
I went to a C&P exam on 12-12-67 for evaluation.
"PT says while in service he had episodes of palpitation following inspection, with fainting and ended up in sick bay. He then began to have palpitation with some pains in mid sternal area following exertion, drills, and at times even when resting. The spells of palpitation may last from 5 to 20 minutes now, and in recent months has had 6 episodes, the last one 3 - 4 days ago. He has learned to lean forward with head between knees, and take deep breaths and this at times shortens the interval and length of attack. He is working now, gets the episodes at work, but continues working, after they subside."
Tachycardia not elicited at this examination."
RATING DECISION 2-5-68
J. Cited examination.
I. Evaluation of SC tachycardia.
F. Cited exam discloses the veteran is steadily employed but
complains of occasional dizziness, a heavy feeling in the chest and that
his heart flutters. Blood pressure was 120/68, 130/64, 103/70 and there is
no precordial thrust, no enlargement to percussion. Heart sounds are
regular, there is a soft, systolic murmur at the apex with no radiation, no
thrill and a rate of 78 to 80. EKG is normal.
D. Current examination does not disclose a compensable condition.
Rating of 3-3-67 amended as follows:
1. SC 38 USC 331 & 310 (Agg. PTE; VE from 10-1-67)
10% from 11-26-66
0% from 5-1-68
PAROXYSMAL ATRIAL TACHYCARDIA
10 Not entitled --38 USC 336
Basically, they gave me the 10% for a little over 1 year and then took the 10% away and my condition did not change, in fact it got worse. I am not sure why they took it away. Did they have a valid reason or should they have left it alone.
I also now have CAD for almost 3 years and have filed a claim trying to link the 2 heart conditions.
So what does everybody think? Should I try to pursue this, let it go, file a CUE, hire a lawyer? Any suggestions would be very much appreciated. Thank you in advance, Brian
