Dean Please Read

[Papa]

I happen to come across Dean's post, and part C2 interest me very much. This may really help me as I had a pre-existing condition when I was invited to join the military. I always thought that I had to prove the military aggravated the condition, which to me is extremely hard to do. Now, the VA must provide evidence that it was not aggravated by the service. My condition is Hereditary Angioedema, but I did not know the name of the condition prior to my military service entrance exams.But, stated very clearly that I had a medical problem. The medical people at the entrance exam actually laughed, and told me to get my a## in the next line and bend over. No test whatsoever was done. I had horrible medical care during my military service, and had to get Congressman Hamilton to help me get out of a pole climbing class. The military sent me to a shrink, as they thought I had mental issues. The everyday military life was fine, but I had a very serious medical problem.
