Question
Lzjump
I have a question hope I make this clear. I was awarded DIC back in June and received the back pay etc, in July I received a letter from the VA stating they were working on my claim. I assumed that it was for the IHD which I had pointed out several times while my claim was in appeals from 2002. Today I called the 800# and the lady told me they had no claim pending and did not show a letter being sent to me in July. My question, when my husband received award letters from the VA while he was living, they always stated the percentages for each disability, when I received my award letter back in June it just stated that Cause of Veterans death was granted. Would the VA have to give percentages to each disablility when they grant a cause of veterans death. Example my husband was granted 20% for DM II but when I filed for Cause of Veterans Death and had proof that he had renal failure and was in the hospital on dialysis for the renal failure due to Diabetes would that not have put him at the !00% for Diabetes and put him in the SMC catagory and given me accrued benefits at the SMC rate?. Also he had a acute myocardial infracture which would be IHD. When he was living he was rated @ 90% with one disablility rated @ 70% and the BVA granted TDIU @100% during my appeals claim. Wondering if I should persue this and would i fall under Nehmar. Thanks

Yes I did receive accrued benefits for the TDIU which they had calculated incorrectly and it was a separate check. Can I ask for a rating sheet for the Cause of Veterans Death? When I called the 80
