Decision On Claim Arrived Yesterday

[Phred]

I have about a hundred questions as I'm reading through this paper work but I'd like to start with what does this mean: "The VA examiner stated that he could not assess the degree of leg pain related to your service connected injuries without meter speculation."

Larry, sounds like the begining of a good movie script. LOL

Re: "GENETICS?

The only thing that C&P examiner knew about me, genetically, is that I'm a JewBoy. Are Jew's genetically inclined to have arthritis?

So, I began the "battle of words" with the C&P and the RO!

Just killin time and hangin on. Hey, that ought to make a good title for a C&W song!"-LarryJ-

And...that song would HAVE to be sung by Kinky Friedman, an independent Texan!

Believe it or not, I've known Mr. Friedman since his "Kinky Friedman and The Texas Jewboys" show hit the road. Good Guy.

I actually saw Kinky and the guys perform in New York City in the 70's. The club was near Washington Square Park near NYU, and had a giant statue of an iguana on the roof. The Lone Star Cafe, if anyone remembers it. I enjoy seeing his appearances on Fox News Network now and then... he is down to earth and makes a lot of sense to me, but I never thought back then I'd be watching his political commentary on Fox News Network today.

Regarding "genetic predisposal" -- if it isn't noted on the entrance physical, it didn't exist prior to service. Period.

Just a thought.....Have you requested a copy of all your VA records including the Evaluation exams and military documents? If you havent, send a letter requesting it under the FOIA (Freedom of Information Act), putting FOIA on the envelope as well as in the letter. You should then receive copies of all the VA has in your file. Take a look at my website that I just put on this site. It might offer you some additional help (not sure). It's free so you won't lose anything by looking.

Good Luck,
