It Is Finally Over Bva Granted My Appeal

Rate this question


Testvet

Question

  • HadIt.com Elder

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

Forgot to say Congratulations. It has been a long haul.

Congrats Testvet, wow! you have been here since 05 I hope you hang around I would think that your years fighting the VA is invaluable. I coundn't imagine what you have been through the ups and downs and good news the bad and the trix of the trade that was pulled on you and years of it. You persevered and won, I can't wait till I can feel that feeling of victory but I fear it will be short lived and I will return to the same ol'ball of nerves in the following days..Congrats&Goodluck if you move decide to on, Yog...

Testvet, congratulaltions Brother. Your are a great example of persistance as it has taken many years to get your claim finally decided.

I remember your claim as it progressed back and forth.

Now you can relax a little. Sit back and enjoy it.
