Question
TiredSgt
I have been receiving 40% for lower and upper back pain and ringing in the ears since my discharge in 1997. I have a claim pending for PTSD, the VA tells me my claim is in review (they are awaiting records) from somewhere to prove I was in Somalia.
Anyways, back in May 06, I was diagnosed with congestive heart failure with ejection fraction of 20%, my civilian doctor placed me on 7 different meds and last month, I had an I.C.D./Pacemaker implanted. If I can get this condition service connected, it is automatic 100% according to the schedule of ratings.
Should I wait on my ruling for PTSD, or submit a claim for CHF right away? I'm concerned that if I mail my CHF claim to the VA in Nashville, they will stop proceedings on my PTSD claim? I'm sort of confused and would like some advise from the more seasoned members.
Thanks...Tim
