This recent article reveals from a Vietnam vet how reluctant the VA is to SC anything that is not on the AO presumptive list.
But the recent IOM report might eventually get this disability on the list.
The vet says in the article he had IMOs but still they would not SC...I can only wonder if those IMOs lacked a strong medical rationale with some med citations.
In any event it would be wonderful if vets with bladder cancer could be SCed under the AO regs.
I never dreamed I would live long enough to ever see IHD on the AO presumptive list.
Nothing is impossible. The IOM report here somewhere does find a limited suggestion that AO could cause Bladder cancer.
It all depends on what VA does next in interpreting that report.
