Ihd Earlier Effective Date Denied!

Rate this question

Question

Well got the letter today from VA in a small white envelope and it said denied for an earlier effective date based on all the evidence in my folder....

While I agree that the tests the VA and C&P ran in 2003 and 2005 did not show heart disease I believe it was because of the sub-standard testing preformed at the 2 C&P's.

I am at 100% P&T with SMC-s so I guess I should be grateful and just walk away from this now before it really does kill me! I guess I might.

Then again I may contact a lawyer and get some advise on how to precede. Berta always said that I might have a better chance at a FTCA claim or a 1151 but I just don't know now.

How the VA can say that a vet that comes to them with angina and hyperlipdemia should not be tested appropriately by echo or angio is just beyond me. My blockages of 100%/90% and 50% THAT DAMAGED 40% OF MY HEART DID NOT JUST OCCUR ON OCT.05!! They were there and nobody detected them and it almost killed me!!

Sorry I am running on and yes ranting... I need to clam down. Let me know what you all think.

Happy Holidays!

Stillhere that is an excellent idea!

That is an excellent idea too.

I cannot believe how naive my husband and I were years ago-a nurse hollered at him because he had picked up his med recs at the VA clinic to read as we had been there a long time waiting and we had read all the DAV and VFW mags they had.

We actually believed when she said 'You are not allowed to read those records' that we could not get a copy of them.

When I finally did get a copy I was stunned at what was in them. Even my C file was quite a wake up call.

Stillhere- if you do file a Section 1151 claim make sure you have copies of all your VA records first. They write 1151 all over the files and probably wont want to release anything else at that point.
