Question
Jayco
In 2017 had a pacemaker implanted for carotid hypersensitivity. VA paid for it. I am service connected for heart disease.
This year I decided to file a claim for worsening condition of heart disease. Found an article on Pubmed that said carotid hypersensitivity was not a separate disease, but a marker for heart disease and arteriosclerosis. VA rejected my claim for worsening condition and said it had nothing to do with the heart. Said it was not service connected. I think they are absolutely wrong. If it is not service connected, why pay for the pacemaker.
I've taken this claim as far as I can. I'm limited to what I can do. Would like to turn it over to maybe an attorney or some other professional individual or organization. Can anyone make a recommendation?
By the way. I recently reached 100% disability. I have this claim and one other that can be pursued but wondering if I should leave well enough alone.
Thanks in advance.
