For Vietnam era veterans, do you feel the VA has done you wrong?

SPC Richard Zacke I am a Vietnam Veteran that will continue to fight the VA. The VA is like any other large government organization.

VA has done fine by me. For medical care I've actually had doctors I call groupies. They love having me as a patient because I don't let my medical conditions interfere with my daily life. My disability benefits have always been fine. I have been rated 100% since my medical retirement in 1969. One day I was in the Army, drawing Jump Pay and Combat pay, the next day I was on Total disability from VA. My only problem had to do with a service connected condition, prosopagnosia, which most doctors have never experienced because it's so rare. It took me a couple of years to get the VA to figure out how to rate it, but with my help, and the help of the world's two top clinicians in the field, VA figured it out and I am rated at the next higher rating above 100%. The VA said my symptoms were subjective. (they had to take my word for it). The problem with VA's logic was that the part of the brain where facial recognition takes place, and where images are stored, were lost when I was shot in the head in Viet Nam. Once the two top experts in the field told them all that, the VA gave in and stopped calling it subjective.

I'm not a Vietnam war veteran,but I do know several of them, and I haven't heard any negativity from them.
