Presumptive Within One Year

[iraqrecall]

Ok maybe I am just dumb but heres my question.

If a disability is claimed with in one year of discharge is it considered presumptive?

I have had some medical problems arise after discharge but prior to one year but have been denied because of no nexus in my active duty medical records.

Do you remember the 1st Aviation Brigade in Vietnam? I was with them for a while. I can't believe they called you back to serve in Iraq forth years later. You pilots in Nam were the best in the world. I assume you flew at treetop level with gunship overhead to come in and kill those crazy enough to shot at you.

I posted somewhere this AM as to what the chronic Presumptive reg means and that the "one year" means that a successful claim if awarded with get day after discharge as the EED for the retro.

Chronic presumptives are due to a liberalizing law and many reps (and the VA too) do not understand what this type of presumptive disability is.There is a list. The VA holds to the list.

However a claim for direct SC instead of presumptive can be awarded too within the first year after service.
