Hi, I'm posting this for a friend. I am hoping some of the vets on this board can help him.
"I am a 2x vet of Iraqi freedom, injured while training to go to Bosnia, given a 10% disability for my knee. Reinjured it again in 2007 while in Iraq after several IED's. Came home to fight to have a manditory TBI screening, told i was depressed. Had to fight to have the knee fixed again on the outside. The VA stated there was nothing wrong with my knee, my doctor said i had softening of the lining of the bone and synovium, it was fixed. I was told by the VA hospital to file 100% temp claim, denied because i was not "on my ass for 30 days" I was told to try and walk asAP. convieniently I was sent 2 letters on a saturday, one denying the temp and the second taking away my 10% for serving my country again in Iraq, I am now in a financial hardship and I need help."
