SHAD 11 Study near completion

[willyd]

If the results of this SHAD II study indicate a difference in outcome between the SHAD participants and the comparison population, or if the study finds new information that would warrant new research avenues, MFUA will be prepared to conduct additional research as appropriate.

This study is sponsored by the U.S. Veterans Administration. Effective 6/10/2015, the study will conclude January 15, 2016.

Wasn't TestVet a SHAD victim?

[Berta]

Yes, you are right , he was and Jerrel Cook, our Blog Radio show producer, was in Project 112(SHAD) and has a SHAD /112 claim on appeal.

Va has never found any disability yet as directly due to SHAD:

Maybe the new report coming out will change that.
