hypertension 7005 Arteriosclerotic Heart Disease (coronary Artery Disease)

[Ricky]

7005 Arteriosclerotic heart disease (Coronary artery disease) will a rating for this due to service connected DMII and Hypertension be rated seperate from the hypertension or will they combine the two into one rating?

I have a rating for DMII and HTN. I was recently discovered to have CAD with blockages of 65, 40 and 50. I have to take Imdur to keep away the shortness of breath, dizzyness etc...

Yes, I think you can make a DIC claim. What you need is a medical opinion that heart and DMII were present and contributed to his death. What was the cause of death? You will have to fight for this. Berta knows and I think she is still fighting for some benefits.
