It’s been 4 years since my last C&amp;p by someone who wrote a narrative that completely conflicted with the boxes she checked. I resubmitted and am still waiting, I am still breathing on my own barely and this hasn’t been the case at times. Could you give a date when the benefits determination team will begin going through the backlog? WWII already died, Vietnam and Korea are just now being acknowledged regarding agent Orange and Operation Desert Shield/ Storm and Afghanistan have been notified that some conditions may be related to burn pits, will I live long enough for my case to reach 100%or will the cancer, chemical exposures and multiple other issues kill me first?

A lot of Vietnam vets died of Agent Orange exposure before the govt. acnoledged it. I had several great VSA&#39;s who worked hard to get my rating. I feel for these vets who are waiting, A lot of the remaining Vietnam are still waiting. That idiot, Biden can spend lots of our taxpayer money to hire gestapo IRS agents to harass taxpayers, but dosen&#39;t give a damn for vets. As a sidenote, Us Vietnam vets were also exposed to burn pits. we burned everything, including human shit, but we arent counted in the new regestry for comp and pension. go figure?
