Question
cathyjourdan
Hi,
My husband has been receiving 100% for AO connected lung cancer..we knew it was temporary but were told he would have an exam to see if he had an residual issues and be re-rated or put back to zero. Well we got a letter this week saying they decided not to see him and they said they will be taking him to zero three months from the date of the letter. So he did not get the exam to be able to point out the residuals even tho on the review they did they actually have info about the residuals he does have. The letter included a form 21-4138 With two big sections on it labeled "remarks". So, I don't want to mess this up. How should I proceed? Should I just write that he has residuals, list them and copy the parts in his files that talk about it? Or, should I go on e-benefits and apply for these residuals as secondary to the lung cancer? Two different VA reps told me two different things.
I'd be grateful for any guidance.
Thanks.

@cathyjourdanI would advise you to fill out the form 21-4138 and request he be continued for residuals, I would include copies of all pertinent medical reports with the important information highlight
