Question
Rhodesia
I have been filing for comp and pension for varicose veins as well as secondary conditions which was tact on to my high blood pressure and cardiovascular issues also noted in my military records, and being treated while on active duty, I have been currently being treated for this condition since 2006 by the VA, I have been submitting claims to the Comp and pension, been denied for 8 years up until now I have my first comp and pension exam, it only took 9 years to get them to see me for a service connected issue. Her report was due 9 days ago and still she has not even wrote anything to the comp and pension board. I have a fear she will defer this to someone else and I will have to be seen all over again, even through she is a specialist in this field as a cardiovascular doctor. I went through this same issue when I filed a claim for Malaria currently that says NSC but yet I contracted it during the 70's while in the Marines and so recorded in my military records, but that's a different issue.
Is there a reason why she is not responding to the deadline? Hell I had to stand butt naked in front of her so she could measure my veins, can't get compression hose from the VA unless I'm 10% service connected for this condition, hell you can't get them if you are 0 % either. These are not cheap on the outside to buy. The VA determined that I need to wear a 20/30 compression stockings.
Any help in this matter would be nice, thank you
