I think you have made a mistake on the ship name. The USS Kawishiwi (AO 146)
was a fleet Oiler and likely stayed at Yankee Station. Her cruise info shows only Viet Nam west packs. There is a ship named the USS Kishwaukee (AOG-9) Operated primarily or exclusively on Vietnam's inland waterways.
I wish I could help more but unless John Rossi and Company pull a rabbit out of thin air, The probability of service connection for BWN will remain very thin.
Sorry

You need a Bash IMO to offset the exam. Even though the doc is a OB/GYN, The doc went to medical school and completed criteria that all other doctors do to earn their MD. Ob/GYN is just a specialty area of practice.
That is where the VA gets you. Bash can offset that because he is the expert on Bones, and Neurological issues.

If the VA bills your private insurance and you are part of a special program like 112/shad or other issue or are billing your insurance for any service connected treatment, or medicine for that treatment then the VA is defrauding your insurance company and they need to be locked up for it. That is larceny. They do this all of the time. If insurance companies would wake up and realize they are getting stripped by the VA they they would do something but they don't realize the scope of the problem. Could be billions of money. Besides this makes your private rates go up.

Carlie was a good friend of mine also. We talked numerous times about VA claims, hers and mine as well as others. She became VA educated and when she did she shined. Lets hope for a miracle here. She is too young to leave us.

As an asbestos Guru, I will tell you this. You need to go get a HRCT or high resolution cat scan looking at the scarring. Asbestosis can be seen on a good image. If the Xray doesn't show it then ask for the claim to be dropped. If they find something and are not sure what it is then you will need a lung biopsy. They will tell you what it is, even the type of asbestos. Asbestos will never deteriorate inside the body.
We need to do another show on asbestos.

Send in your proof and ask for a waiver. It is their error. They did not do their job. Also write your congress rep or go to the field office and show them the proof you asked them to remove the student.
Why should a veteran be penalized for the VA not doing their job. Sounds like the idiot who didn't do their job is trying to cover their ass.

Bergie, If you have a few minutes, listen to this. It is a good Explanation of smc S

Folks, Bergie is a very old and dear friend of Mine and Hadit too. He has contributed countless hours to this site. He has been on extended hiatus and now he is back. I know folks don't like repetitive questions but since Hadit has changed servers the search engine is lacking as I have searched for things that just aren't there like the Hadit Disability calculator.
Until the issues are resolved, If someone asks a question regardless of how repetitive it may seem to be it should be answered. Were about helping veterans. If you feel upsets you on a repetitive question, then don't answer. We have ASKNOD on the radio show tonight so folks can lsiten. Alex will touch on the SMC issues as he is the guru on this subject with a very keen way of delivering his message.
To listen at the 7pm eastern show just copy or click this link: http://www.blogtalkradio.com/haditcom/2015/11/05/haditcom-blog-talk-radio-show-wednesday-110415-700-pm-eastern-asknod

Actually since you were in the miltary GM has nothing to do with the VA, You were active duty and through no fault of your own you had an accident. Sounds like you got written up by Barney Fife as a result of the accident. Now the GM defect caused the accident (Sounds like an Ignition Switch issue).
Is the VA saying you were negligent? If so they need a Knot jerked in them. It is GM's fault and you are an innocent victim. Now the VA needs to comp you for you for your disabilities caused by the accident.

Keep the door open for a SMC claim but if the VA gets it right they should award it based on the ancillary benefit SMC is.

The law says total plus 60. Not 100 plus 60. If you have IU for one condition and it is total then you should get SMC S if you have the other 60 percent.

Moot means 100 percent scheduler trumps IU. You can still work while scheduler. You cant work with IU,

The VA changes wording at their discresion . No future exams usually means P and t. In your case they spelled it out for you. The VA can examine you at any time for any reason regardless of P and T status.

The list below is the related cancers associated with AO. The Testicle cancer does not matter where but what type of cancer.
Prostate cancer is presumptive so get it filed asap.
He should be 100 percent p and t with it as is has spread to the bones.
Hope this helps.

We are always under the watchful eye of the old VA, remember you are not a deserving Veteran in their eyes, You are just another dysfunctional system playing dirt-bag trying to get something. Now how to reverse that negative mindset in a supposedly non-advesarial environment would be a brilliant thing that will only take the privatization of the VA to change.
Let them watch. If we vets are as disabled as we say we are, then we have nothing to hide.
By the way, Believe it when other folks are watching you. Social Security and workers comp are experts at surveillance
Can I get a VA award of SMC (K) for my foot
in SMC Special Monthly Compensation

Look at the rating schedule. If there is a small 2 in front of the percentage it could mean a SMC for that rating.
