if someone's ib claim is based on four different illnesses, one of them is heart disease and recieves angioplasty stent treatment to unblock one coronary artery, while other two arteries remain partialy blocked and existing medication continues, does this constitute a change for ib claim.

any info or advice please

I am no expert and you need both benefit advice and your drs input ... but I would say if the stent inproved blood supply and you feel better then you have to tell them, if they ask your drs for your records pre and post stent testing will tell them what they want to know... and of course do you feel a bit better ?
