Question
jbasser
We learned tonight that the VA is changing the criteria or simplifying the rating criteria by only going with the term METS and getting rid of the Ejection fraction and other things in the rating schedule.
Any heart specialist will tell you that the gold standard for actual heart functioning strength is the Ejection Fraction. This is not good for veterans who file claims for heart disease and will be rated incorrectly.
I sure hope this gets overturned or heart disease veterans will get screwed.
