This thread is very much like my case.
Sorry if you find this post somewhere else. After I submitted the post as a reply, it didn't show up anywhere I could find, so re posted it as a new topic.
Hello all,
I was diagnosed in 1988 IHD CAD and became permanently disabled certified by Social Security in 1993. Lost my private medical coverage and need a program to cover the expensive cardiac drugs I need to stay alive. I had told my private cardiologist that I would seek treatment, management, and prescription for my IHD at the VAMC in Syracuse NY because they gave prior treatment to Vietnam Vets under their AO policies.
The VA agreed to treatment me in 1994 (there must be admission to care records somewhere), but they told me they wouldn't compensate me so don't bother to file for it, but they would take over treatment and they have been treating me ever since. In 2005 I finally did have a disability (DMII) the VA presumed and I filed a claim. The claim requested SC for IHD, DMII, PN, and multiple lipomas.
The C&P decision denied SC for IHD and the lipomas but gave me 10% for DMII, 20% PN for both lower legs. They also checked all the old records to see if the IHD could be secondary to DMII but concluded because it predated the DMII and the was no indicate of IHD in active duty, the IHD was not SC.
In 2009 after the VA announced they were going to add IHD to presumption, I filed to reopen the 2005 claim for IHD and to increase the the DMII rating. C&P sent me a letter acknowledging Nehmer and the denied claim. I've had an IHD exam that states I can't work work a < than 5 METs. I also have other cardiac problem that should put me at 100% and they should increase the DMII.
This is where the claim stands. I've nothing more from C&P. Want do you think?
