Settlement Victory Secures Retroactive Benefits for Veteran’s Coronary Disease, Diabetes, and Hypothyroidism
In a recent settlement with the Department of Veterans Affairs, we successfully secured retroactive benefits for our client. The agreement grants our client earlier effective dates for critical service-connected conditions, including coronary artery disease, diabetes, and hypothyroidism.
Under the settlement, the VA awarded an effective date of August 1, 2015, for the veteran’s coronary artery disease and associated bypass graft scar. The VA also established an effective date of December 16, 2019, for diabetes mellitus type II, including diabetic retinopathy and pseudophakia, and June 14, 2018, for hypothyroidism.
This resolution ensures our client receives long-overdue benefits tied to service-connected health conditions. WHG is honored to help veterans achieve justice and receive the benefits they deserve. Through proactive negotiation, we’ve ensured our client gains essential support for their service-connected conditions.
