I filed a claim in 2002 for a condition that was not one of the VA's presumptive diseases. Of course it was denied. I reopened the claim based on medical evidence and a C&P exam that was scheduled by an adjudicator. The results were that the doctor conducting the C&P concurred with two private medical doctors in that "my conditions was at least likely as not" to have been a result of my exposure to Agent Orange. If, and when, the claim is finally completed, what would be the effective date of compensation or back pay? I was awarded 100% permanent and total in 2004.
