  1. I posted this on another blog but think it was an old one so I am posting here. I have severe COPD (BULLOS EMPHSEMA). I HAVE A FEV1 OF 32% and have been out of work since feb 2012. My doctor says its very rare for someone of my age(43) to have it from smoking alone. I quit smoking in 2006 and was doing fine until oct of 2011. After finding my dicharge paper work that I kept all the years I discoverd that on my exit exam xray it plainly said I had bullos changes but nobody told me. The doctor that did my c/p exam checked the box that said that It was more than likely that not service connected. he use the rAtional of the xray during the exit exam IN APRIL OF 92. Does it sound like I will get 100% because my doctor says Im totaly disablrd and I have applied for ss disabilty as well?
  2. I am 43 years old and former 82nd airborne combat vet of the 1st gulf war. I have severe COPD but did not know until 2001 when a doctor took xrays because I had a very bad cold. It showed bullos emphsemma the doctor told me to quit smoking and it wouldnt get worse. I quit smoking in 2006 and was able to work at 100%. In 2011 I became disabled I have FEV1 of 32%. My doctor tells me that it is very rare to have severe copd at my age and that smoking alone didnt cause it. After finding my exit exam records from 1992 on my xray reading it plaiing states that I had bullos changes at the age of 22. However the Army didnt tell me so now I have applied for sc disabilty. I have already had my cp exam and the doctor checked the climed was at least lilkelyas notincurred in or causedby the climed in servise illness. Does anybody know if this sounds like I will get a rating of 100%? Also I have a PTSD diagonis as well.
