Hello everyone.I have been to this site several times and must say it is informative. I have held off until now to talk about certain things I found useful in my claim. First I must say i am shocked that the VRO Columbia only took 9 months 20 days. I will say that I believe it was because I stayed on top of it. I not only used the DAV but also had My Congressman's office on board from day one. This was a Thai service only herbicide award for Cancer of the Larynx 100% for 6 months 30% residuals total allowed by law at present time. I can only say for everyone out there fighting if I can help in any way I will. Have considered a Blog on this site Or if needed if this site allows direct e-mail etc.
