hypertension It Is Finally Over Bva Granted My Appeal

[Testvet]

for all of you regulars you know what I have been fighting and how long I have been fighting it. I got the letter from the BVA today they granted my appeal on Hypertension and Coronary Artery Disease secondary to PTSD.

They took exception to note that Dr Boscarino's study warranted inclusion the the Federal register, and also my IMO from DR James Ketchum the retired Colonel from Edgewood Arsenal and the Judge noted that I had been a test subject at Edgewood and that DR Ketchum accepted DR Boscarino's study as being a logical scientific study and that it was more plausible than my exposures to chemicals and drugs during the Cold War human experimentation.

Since my PTSD was awarded back to Dec 2003 and I started the claim on my heart disease in Nov 2002 I am sure they will only give me back pay to Dec 2003

but I am happy now if I have a heart attack and die they hace to give my wife and son benefits. YES

yes the stress is over, we are talking about going to Vegas with all of these cheap airline tickets we can go to vegas on a Monday and dtay until Friday morning and get a room at Circus Circus and the plane trip from Charlotte cheaper than we can drive to Biloxi and stay for the same period at the Beau Rivage (now thats a nice place, I recommend it to anyone) but right now I think we are staying home until this swine flu goes away I remember the mess it created back in 1976 soldiers ended up paralyzed by the vaccines I think I will just bunker down until this passes

congrats on you award.My Appeal is at the BVA right now for 13 months how long who knows.

I found out the reason they handled mine so fast the case that was appealed to the BVA was a denial from July 2003 so that is basically what got me fast tracked at the Board level

This proves that if you live long enough you can get your compensation. I remember when you did not think you would even get compensated for PTSD. I know you were fighting the battle in 2002 when I first started to post. Persistence is the key, but what a long, strange trip it has been.
