Question

Jus looking for some insight. I have a congressmans office involved a few month ago. My claim has been in reno. I filed for neck strain back in 1996 but was denied. I didnt appeal so it was final. I know me cervical strain is a result of the gunshot injury in 1991. The va stated there was no correlation between the injury and neck issue. I was diagnosed with osteoarthritis in 2003 by the va. Its rather interesting the Va grants service connection for bullet fragments in scalp and concussion and amnesia but at 0% for scar. I have uneven bridging on the left side of my head which the va doc never examined. Most of all i believe that i hope to get my dd214 corrected and receieve the purple heart. its been a long time. I have two medical opinions verifying the injury now and a statement from my corpsman. I am going to pursue this and hope to get it rated back to 1991. Whats funny is i didnt remember what happened after i got shot. Took me 15 yrs to recall the close range shot in an enemy bunker. Plus the va has only my service treatment records up until aug 1990. I got out in April 1991. How can they deny me when there are no medical records after aug 1990. Any advice would be appreciated.
