AimHigh1986 Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 I finally received my decision letter yesterday. 10% for hypertension, 10% for heart disease. Overall increase from 70% to 80%. They also granted 0% SC for some scarring in my lung as a result of my bypass surgery. The letter states that they are going to schedule an exam to see if the 0% needs to be increased (I'm paraphrasing). I was also granted temporary 100% for my heart bypass surgery convalescence. I could have sworn that it's supposed to be for 3 months, but they have an effective date of 1 Sep 09, ending on 1 Nov 09. Isn't that only 2 months, or am I reading it incorrectly? They received my claim on 4 Aug 09. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dsgsr Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 The VA usually pays for the previous month, so Effective Sept 1 would mean pay for Aug. Sept. & Oct.= ending Nov. 1st. just my experience. David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
