What About Wrong Or Misspelled Medical Terms In The Va Denial?
Rate this question
Question
Guest Morgan
Can anyone tell me whether any good would come out of NODing a denial for using wrong medical terms in the denial? It could be just an oversight (maybe misspelled--harmless?), but how am I to know what they were thinking or weighing if I don't read it as they wrote it? (rhetorical) Several errors like this are in his recent denial of all claims.
This one is material to the VA decision:
- A claim was submitted for "a new heart condition due to over-anticoagulation causing a lung injury that stressed my heart, required hospitalization, and left this condition untreatable." The VA said they denied my claim for "a new heart condition due to overcoagulation [the opposite of my evidence] that caused a lung injury that stressed the heart and required hospitalization..."
This was a new condition caused and complicated by a SC condition. The injury to the lung was due to doctor error that caused excessive bleeding (over-anticoagulation), not from excessive blood clotting (overcoagulation). Edited by MorganLink to comment
