Question
doogie
I got my first [pulmonary insuffiency] claim denial in 1984
Reason for denial was the VA says it was congenital.I have had 3 or four denials and , one rating denial.I have got disgusted me and dropped the claim 4 times because they always wanted more evidence which they had a pile already from hospitalization in 1966 to now from hospitals and doctors.
My GOD i was in the hospital 18 time in cardiac and stroke wards in 7 years
The last denial came a month ago when i wrote the VA and and respectfully requested that they provide me with clear and unmistakable evedince that it was congenital. tHEY IMEDIATLY GOT MY ORIGIONAL INDUCTION EXAM FROM THE RECORDS CENTER
the denial letter stated that there was some evidence i did not have a bicuspid valve and that was the reason i was denied saying it was congenital
and i was never given an exam by the VA
Well! yesterday i went and got a heart scan at my heart dr and the results are going to be mailed to me.
the heart dr told me that all my valves were there [including the one the VA said wasn't there] and there was no congenital problems with my heart.
He also told me that i do have HTN heart condition and the medicine he perscribed toprol is mainly perscribed for heart pressure and heart hypertension
should i use this as evidence also or file a separate claim?
This is really getting more confusing for me,
and i am waiting for rating decision for PTSD hopefully that will go well
Does anyone here think the congenital heart thingy could be a bonified cue claim>
THANK YOU VETERANS
