Why wouldn’t the VA or BCNR acknowledge Navy occupational injury first covered by 5th Congress 1798 Covered for Sick and Disabled Seaman?

It literally seams ludicrous
You could have such a job
And when you have some medical issues and go to proper authority to acknowledge such injury or illness caused by such job, receive denials that never reference the details of your job?

PO3 Aaron Hassay Probably for the same reason why the VA says my TBI from an IED in Iraq isn't service connected. It's called low balling us.

Mr Wettstein,
Sorry to hear about your ordeal, it seems I also know a Marine who is going through a similar battle based on ied and Iraq Service. It’s Ludacris.
If you into law then consider reading this Amicus Monk Vrs Shulkin.

I was inserted with initials A.H.
The argument of the case amicus is this.

I don’t know what part of the process you are in. But if you need any support let me know.
As far as recovering from joint injuries without surgery I did it with a inversion teeter machine. I suggest this decompression technique for all stress related issues. Anti Gravity decompressed the whole body and the mind. It takes time and should be something done daily. I started at a low angle and eventually went all away over and full inversion. Just one solid tip there bud.

Swords to Plowshares and the law firm Boies Schiller Flexner filed an amicus brief on behalf of five veterans legal service providers supporting the petitioners in Monk v. Shulkin. The petitioners seek to aggregate a class of all veterans with VA disability benefits appeals delayed over one year. This brief addresses the due process harms of the unreasonable delay on veterans, who face acute financial hardships, homelessness, and increased...

That sounds familiar. I had my hearing damaged in Iraq to the point that when I got back, they flagged me to go to audiology. They did the exam and determined I needed a hearing aide, and issued me one, because of the deployment. Fast forward to me filing a hearing loss claim when I got out, and magically it isn't service connected.
I ended up fighting it for five years. I called audiology a few times on Wainwright, who never called back, until one time someone told me that patient records should have my records. I requested my records an in it I saw that post deployment test. That audiology report showing my hearing dip, that the VA didn't somehow have and resolved the issue.
Shit is ridiculous.

see also Hayburn's Case, 2 U.S. (2 Dall.) at 410, n. ("[M]any unfortunate and meritorious
[veterans], whom Congress have justly thought proper objects of immediate relief, may suffer
great distress, even by a short delay, and may be utterly ruined, by a long one.").
From the beginning of the Republic, statutory construction concerning congressional
promises to veterans has been of great concern. "By the act concerning invalids, passed in June,
1794, vol. 3. p. 112, the secretary at war is ordered to place on the pension list, all persons whose
names are contained in a report previously made by him to congress. If he should refuse to do so,
would the wounded veteran be without remedy? Is it to be contended that where the law, in precise
terms, directs the performance of an act, in which an individual is interested, the law is incapable
of securing obedience to its mandate? Is it on account of the character of the person against whom
the complaint is made? Is it to be contended that the heads of departments are not amenable to the
laws of their country?" Marbury v. Madison, 5 U.S. 137, 164, 2 L. Ed. 60, 69 (1803).
