Ischemic Heart Disease and Type 2 Diabetes

[gloworm]

Vietnam veteran - wounded in TET offensive and have extensive health problems.  Currently rated at 100% SMC K.  Is it worth filing for previous denial of the following.  Since I am already at above rating, can I get rated at higher SMC with heart or 2nd and 3rd individual 100% ratings?

Was denied ischemic heart disease and Type 2 Diabetes in 2009 claim.  Recently diagnosed with Ischemic heart disease including acute coronary syndrome, respiratory distress, elevated troponin level, myocardial infarction non-st elevation, acute respiratory failure with hypoxemia, ischemic cardiomyopathy, hypertension, hyperlipidemia.  Had a heart attack and was in cardiac care unit for 8 days after emergency stent surgery.   Hospital diagnosis

Are you Rated (1) condition at 100% SC, multiple conditions with a CSC 100%, or IU for (1) condition rated at less than 100% SC?

(1) Scheduler SC Rated at 100% or an IU Award for (1) Condition, would put you in position for an SMC S (Scheduler Housebound) Award requiring (1) SC 100% and 1 or more that = 60%. An additional $342.00 per month, so you call the ball.

"Was denied ischemic heart disease and Type 2 Diabetes in 2009 claim"

IHD went onto the AO presumptive list in 2010, and DMII a few years before that.

You sure might fall into a SMC criteria when you file this claim. We need more info on your present ratings.

Can you scan and attach the denial letter from 2009 ( Cover C file # name prior to scanning it) because

under Nehmer 2010, and under Footnote 0ne, you might be eligible for more retro than the new new claim might bring.

I was a Footnote One  Nehmer widow.Claim filed for IHD in 2010.Posthumous award 2012, retro back to 1988.
