MAJ Dale E. Wilson, Ph.D. Great (sarcastic). So if I develop Parkinson's and I file a claim how many years and appeals will it take to get benefits approved?

And you can't file unless you have one of the cancers even though we drank that water showered in it.

The VA treated me for Parkinson’s disease for 15 years before they decided I all of a sudden didn’t have it anymore. They even established my exposure to the water at Camp Lejeune, but still denied my claim. They even said they did an examination this year that they never did.

Sgt Julie Weidner - I'd file again now given this information. I wish you the best of luck. Never heard of anyone being "cured" of Parkinson's.
