Attorney Wants Diagnosis for Secondary Complication to Rated Condition; Must it be through VA?
Cat4Christ777 posted a question in IMO Independent Medical Opinion,
Originally, this secondary condition was claimed as 'migraines,' but while it may begin as a migraine with a complication, the VA can--and has, more than once--made it so much worse (pain-wise). If it does not qualify as a migraine, then my attorney and I need to come up with a different diagnosis. It's definitely a neurological issue, possibly 'occipital neuralgia,' as the condition meets the criteria of its definition, here: https://medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/occipital+neuralgia.-

VA Math, Confusing, Right? Calculate Your Final Rating Percentage!
Tbird posted a blog entry in Tbirds Blog,
10 + 50 = 50 and other VA math mysteries explained.
VA Math It’s Not Your Mother’s Arithmetic
“VA Math” is the way that the VA computes combined impairment ratings for multiple conditions in a Veteran’s compensation benefits claim – and it requires that you unlearn real math. When a Veteran has multiple medical conditions that are service-connected and the Veterans Affairs rates each at a different percentage, it would seem that they should just add up your percentages to get to a total body impairment rating.-

Question
NSA-Saigon-ET 0
Hi all,
Was rereading the Nehmer Class action concerning my AO/IHD original claim.
I am a little confused how the law reads for retro payment dates.
Here is the short background summary.
Service including in-country Vietnam from 1967-1974
First felt Angina pain in 1994 and became a patient of a heart specialist in Cambridge, Ma.
After exhaustive testing was placed on medication and have been every since. (IHD diagnosis of some type, CAD,etc..)
Veteran lost private medical coverage and requested care under VA since 1997, first as a 0% SC and later on at 20% SC.
Archived VAMC records should have the IHD condition listed. I have not requested the older archived records, but did retrieve the newer records for another issue some time ago. They also list the IHD condition. These go back to 2001-2002.
Ok, so the VA has records that confirm this disability all the way back to 1997 and I can get the records from private doctor pretty easily
that take it back to 1994.
The veteran first filed for IHD disability in 2008, which was denied.
So the veteran comes under Nehmer.
The veteran then filed again in spring of 2010 for AO/IHD.
How far back will the Nehmer class take the compensation by law?
Please state the actual sentence for this.
Thanks!
donald
