rotorhead Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 I just hope they hold to the Nehmer rulings on this, my claim dates back to a 2006 denial for heart diease. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gp747 Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 OK i am trying to see if i qualify for ihd . Back in 2008 i was sent to vascular clinic and found out today that the reason was plaque in the aorta. Apparently it was not real serious because they said they could not do anything at that time or whatever. I went home and forgot about it until now and i do believe been haveing some chest pains always had real tired legs. So is that considered as cad and does anyone think i may have a claim ,it has probably gotten worse since 2008? I know i have to talk to my doc about this ,but just wanted an opinion from anyone who might venture to give one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vperl Posted March 26, 2010 Author Share Posted March 26, 2010 with what you stated, if your doctor will give you several tests to verify if if NOT you have any IHD... Cardiac Ultrasound, Tread Mill test, a MUGA, and or one more if the guidelines fall in to a blood flow rate of so many METS you may qualify. Without results that point our a certain amount of loss of blood flow, you probably are out of luck, I suggest you hope you are well.... I'd trade places with a guy with a whole heart today.. my anterior part is dead.....a nice chunk.... Read the file attached to see the qualifications for percentages of disability and to see if your METS SCORE is enough to qualify, it is your turn to read and learn.... BTW, Skunk, I always have a couple cases of tomato juice with me at all times, so I am ready for youS4_104.doc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
