3. Increase in spina bifida benefit

   I have a question. A dear friend of mine has Spina Bifida and has been getting a level I rating for it since he was a kid. His dad was Agent Orange exposed. Anyway my friend is 40 years old now and his health is declining due to his condition. The question is, can he apply for a higher rating? If so, how does he go about it. He doesn't live near a VA and has no clue so I told him I would ask. Thanks in advance for any input!

4. AO Mother and Son of Veteran - Followup info from previous topic

   Berta and all. Here is what I have so far from my friend and his mother that I was speaking about the other day. From what I can tell, They do have the DD214 and DD215's.

I took notice of the "Foreign/Seas service" section of his 214 and noticed he has Foreign service for 11 months and 20 or so days, just long enough to be in Vietnam... However, I feel I may have to dig up records pertaining to that unit at the time in order to prove it? I am unsure on that exactly. It was also strange they had 2 DD215'…
