If only the backup on claims would start moving. It’s been 4 years since my last C&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?

It took me years to get to my evaluation. but even that is not what these gulf war vets are dealing with. A lot of Vietnam vets died of Agent Orange exposure before the govt. acnoledged it. I had several great VSA'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'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?
