71M10 Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 Greetings all: The Spousal Unit called me at work(AKA she who must be obeyed), a large big brown envelope was in the mail. I had her open it. She read - I listened - I smiled. They have approved the hypertensive heart disease at 60% Cervical Spine is service connected at 0% (wrong but I need to read to see if it is worth appealing). It only took three years for an initial decision, but they didn't try to lowball me on the hypertensive heart disease. I was worried because they say 50% LVEF and the regs read 30 to 50 not through 50. Thank you all for the encouragement! Best regards, Tyler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator pacmanx1 Posted October 1, 2010 Moderator Share Posted October 1, 2010 Congrats My intentions are to help, my advice maybe wrong, be your own advocate and know what is in your C-File and the 38 CFR that governs your disabilities and conditions. Do your own homework. No one knows the veteran’s symptoms like the veteran. Never Give Up. I do not give my consent for anyone to view my personal VA records.

Berta Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 This is Good news! Three years- that is awful and many even wait longer than that. Was the cervical a SC Zero? GRADUATE ! Nov 2nd 2007 American Military University ! When thousands of Americans faced annihilation in the 1800s Chief Osceola's response to his people, the Seminoles, was simply "They(the US Army)have guns, but so do we." Sameo to us -They (VA) have 38 CFR ,38 USC, and M21-1- but so do we. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
