Anchorage, AK 99508 I guess now I have to get an exam for each thing I am claiming here? I have all the documents in my MSR's for headach but the others listed will I have to ask for a presumtive rating due to lack of in service medical problems for them except for my retirement physical which states I said I had these problems? They only became worse after retirement and only recently (over the last 7 years have I been getting tratment for them through a civilian doctor.
