Robert Jones reacted to Hoppy in Jet Fuel Exposure Anyone?
Jessie,
I have been thinking more about your sons claim. There might be a shot at taking the blood study that was done at the time of discharge to a specialist and having him write a report that the test results are consistant with the onset of PV. Additionally, there is no known cure. This is essentially what I did on my angioedema claim and it worked for me. This would establish onset while serving in the armed forces. Whether or not it was caused by JP fuel is no longer an issue. The VA would have to show a perponderance of evidence or even clear and convincing evidence that the condition was caused by factors after service. That will be very difficult for the VA to prove.
My claim was essentially a slam dunk. It still took seven + years to get service connected. The VA appears to show resistence to chemically based claims.
Did you check out the link to Metzger Law link that I posted earlier?
