Claim For Ihd Due To Ao

[captain soggy]

well today it has been one year since I submitted my claim for IHD due to AO exposure. During this time I recieved two letters about 4 months apart stating they are still working on my claim and are sorry for the delay. Oh well the retro pay is like a savings account so sooner or later I will get my compensation.

I hope you get a real nice retro deposit when all is said and done.

It can't be much longer now. It must be so very frustrating for you. My vet's claim for IHD is only 6 months old so we'll just wait them out too.

Let us know when that decision is made!

Thank you for your service.

One Year? Is that all? I ended up resubmitting a specific IHD claim well over a year ago, (Before the regs were even final.)

The claim was previously denied, and several years of retro are due, going back to the first A.O. presumptive claim and award.

I know that the VA is trying to figure out how to reduce the retro by applying a sliding scale.

If they do that, (Quite Likely) I can go back, and say you forgot about the temporary 100% interim ratings called for by the compensation schedule.

(And then the fight begins. Again!)
