Question
Jayco
Back in 2012 I applied for disability with the VA: diabetes, heart disease, and hypertension. They were all presumptive at that time. They approved all three and I received back pay and started receiving monthly checks. Then a few months later they removed hypertension but said I could keep all moneys already paid and that the monthly payment would stay the same. Removing hypertension happened to a couple of other guys I know. Monetarily no damage but would not be able to receive any treatment expense for the disease.
Now I see as of 2022 hypertension is on the presumptive list. See anything wrong with applying for disability again for hypertension?
Thanks in advance.
