chr49 Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 Received a letter from BVA today stating all 3 of my claims have been granted. I filed for bilateral peripheral vascular disease, carotid artery disease & hypertension secondary to PTSD in Spring 2010 - 5 1/2 yrs ago.Can anybody tell me how the bilateral carotid artery disease will be rated? I've found all of the information I need regarding PVD & hypertension.Also, when I filed all of my appointments to monitor my PVD were dropped so I'm assuming they will order testing before rating...Am I correct on this?Thank you for any words of wisdom you can give me.CHR49 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chr49 Posted September 29, 2015 Author Share Posted September 29, 2015 I should have placed this post under Success Stories. Can it be moved?Chr49 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator broncovet Posted September 29, 2015 Moderator Share Posted September 29, 2015 Congratulations. Bilateral carotid artery disease will be rated, like other maladies, on symptoms. What are your symptoms? If you dont have symptoms, then it will likely be 0 percent. rwskitch and chr49 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chr49 Posted September 29, 2015 Author Share Posted September 29, 2015 Thanks Broncovet - I have had some symptoms (1 episode of short term left arm paralysis, left eye changes & short term bouts of confusion/memory loss) but I have a feeling it will end up at 0% since all of those things have been pretty much ignored. Most important was to get the diagnosis on record since it is a huge problem for me. I'm just so thankfully to have this over with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
