VetsLady Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 (edited) Got good news on Tuesday that I have been approved for SSD. Today I got the brown envelope from the VA. For November 23, 2009 30% Coronary artery disease (Nehmer granted) associated with agent orange Tinnitus 10% Bilateral pes planus 10% Hearing loss right ear 0% added to PTSD 50% back disorders 20% for 80% Then on October 26, 2010 60% Coronary artery disease for 90% They have defered for additional medical evidence Aoritic aneurysm associated with coronary artery disease Diabetes mellitus type II ( I am on metforman) Periphal neuropathy, bilateral upper extremities associated with type II Periphal neuropathy, bilateral lower extremities associated with type II And denied COPD and hearing loss left ear. At least I got some answers and when the check is in the bank I can take my sweetheart out to eat, she deserves it after being with me for 42 years. GREAT news Flatbroke ! Now that you have at least 1 condition at 60%, you should be eligible for IU or, you may end up with 100% once the deferred issues are decided. DM2 on medication is 20% -- got to have the restricted activities to bump up to 40%. You might be in that ballpark with the heart issues. Either way, I am a very proud VetsLady of a Marine Corp Veteran ! Congratulations and enjoy the feeling of taking your lovely sweetheart of 42 years out to eat. Splurge on a little dessert, just a little .... (wink) VetsLady Edited February 18, 2011 by VetsLady Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flatbroke Posted February 19, 2011 Author Share Posted February 19, 2011 I plan on applying for TDIU as quick as possible. I am on meds with a restrictive diet and with the heart and lungs on restrictive activities because of inabality to do anything. I talked to a VA rep at Fort Wood yesterday and she gave me plenty of ides on what to do and how. Since I have attorneys working on a EED for my back I cant use any service officers. She helped me fill out the forms November 0f 2009 so that is the date for the ones that are deferred and the ones approved and rated and I filled them myself.
