TITLE 38 CFR SEC. 3.312 CAUSE of DEATH: (3) Service-Connected or Injuries Involving Active Processes Affecting VITAL ORGANS should receive careful consideration as a contributory cause of death.-----------------Where the SC condition effects VITAL ORGANS and is evaluated as 100% Disabling.-----------------------------My IMO, an infectious disease specialist wrote: After reviewing the service medical records of the veteran. "The infectious disease the veteran had in service in 1947, caused the Congestive Heart Failure". My husband died from Congestive Heart Failure in 1981 after contacting the infectious disease in 1947. There is a rating of 100% for this disease which causes Congestive Heart Failure. I would like your opinion, Is this a CUE? He was discharged in 1950, married in 1966 and died in 1981. I filed for "eariler effected date". Had a hearing with DRO , Sept. 6, 2005! The DRO said "This is a DeNova review!" I never requested a DeNova Review".
