Question
Dick
This is my 1st post since joining so i hope my question will come across and make sense to the reader. I was in Korea from Dec 1968 til Jan 1970 and was with the 2nd Batallion 72nd Armor 2nd ID. During that time I had duty on the DMZ though i don't remember the dates. I was also at Camp Casey for NCO school starting July 29 til Aug 29. I have completed the AOR and completed my C&P's as required. I have posted on other forums and have gotten positive answers to most of my questions. I got an e-mail from an individual who says he works with a former engineering Cpt Stewart who works through congressmen and Senators to get all the cards out on regarding AO exposure for all troops stationed there during the AO use. He told me to get a tight grip and hang on for a long ride because my claim will be denied. This goes contrary to what i have been told up to his e-mail. My unit is one of the units presumed to have been exposed during the time frame and i have been dz with DM11 and my Dr. in July put in writing that i am 100% disabled and may never work again. This was a shock to my system and it is a result of problems with my DM11. Now i have to fight SS & the VA. I haven't been able to find a web site where veterans that have been awarded their claim and the process they had to go through to get approved. I meet the 3 requirement listed so i was wondering the reason that i could be denied? Any help or info would be greatly appreciated. I just learned in March 2008 that AO was even used in Korea. Dealing with the VA is new to me though to-date they have been what i consider fast and fair with my claim .
Thanks
Dick
