Hello forum, I am writing behalf of someone I love dearly. Service member is retired Army, served 23 years and upon retirement was diagnosed with a blood disorder, Polycythemia Vera, later Myelofibrosis, and based on my research it is likely that leukemia will be next. Service member has filed for VA disability based on what is believed to be a service connected disease. Service member MOS dealt with microwaves, thus greater exposure to RF. Service member served as NBC NCO. Because of the rarity of this disease it poses difficulty in presenting a case. I have been doing research in order to submit a stronger case to VA. One interesting piece I came across was http://cdmrp.army.mil/pubs/annreports/2004annrep/pdf/10_mdrp.pdf . This would lead me to believe that perhaps the VA does believe there may be possibility of service connection. I am reaching out for your help and support....thank you in advance. -
