HadIt.com Elder john999 Posted January 30, 2023 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted January 30, 2023 I got my SC letter from the VA today for HBP due to AO exposure. I got zero percent as I suspected. That is ok since that is all I wanted since it did not mean more money. Now if I have a stroke it will be SC'ed I hope. Now I am SC for DMII, CAD and High Blood. All due to AO. I would prefer not to be but such is life. You really have to have very dangerous HBP to get more than zero! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Content Curator/HadIt.com Elder Vync Posted January 31, 2023 Content Curator/HadIt.com Elder Share Posted January 31, 2023 Congratulations on the win! I'm SC for CAD also. I considered filing for HBP, but that pesky pyramiding rule...

HadIt.com Elder john999 Posted January 31, 2023 Author HadIt.com Elder Share Posted January 31, 2023 Vync I got away with circumventing pyramiding rule due to PACT. My HBP claim is due to AO exposure. I did not think that CAD and HBP are the same disease, nor have the same causes. I know all the big three (DMII, CAD and HBP) have impact on each other. Vets who are married and have less than ten years at that rate should probably file on any health issue that could kill them even if you do only get 0% rating. Service-connection is key IMO. People in their 40's drop dead from HBP induced stroke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
