To wingnut73 - Thanks Shipmate.  Thought I might have to go that route since VA doesn't follow own rules and Doctor doing C&P was neither a dermatologist or cancer specialist and didn't ask any questions about duty stations and conducted the entire examination from her chair about three feet away.  Only reference in denial letter for SC was a note about a "rash" I was seen for.  In your case did you make any reference to existing legal precedence cases or Benefit of a Doubt Statute? Clear now for squamous cell but going back to VA Saginaw in February for treatment and biopsy of a lesion that just won't go away.  BTW spent 4 years on carrier USS Midway out of Yokosuka, Japan - Indian Ocean, Arabian Sea, The Equator; etc.
