Nice, but based on Agent Orange there's a huge difference between filed and approved. Time will tell!

Agreed Jack...I filed for a review of my Chronic Sinusitis that I have had for years to take it back to my active-duty days. Not only did they not take it back, they reduced it to zero percentage and didn't review any of the evidence I submitted...even though it is presumptive. Have I said before how much I can't stand the VA...If I haven't let me make it clear...I CAN'T STAND THE VA!!!!

With you on that. We had a new VA Clinic open just down the street a year or so ago. Someone mentioned how lucky I was and I told them I wouldn't go near it with a 20 foot pole.
